Overview

Clinical pharmacology is a branch of medicine that focuses on the study of how drugs work in the body. It investigates the therapeutic effects and side effects of drugs, their absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion. Clinical pharmacology is important in developing medications and treatments that are safe and effective for a variety of diseases and conditions, as well as being able to determine the best dosage for an individual patient's needs. It is also used to make decisions about drug interactions, safety, and efficacy in specific populations. Clinical pharmacology is increasingly utilized in personalized medicine and the use of biological markers to predict drug response. By understanding how drugs work, clinical pharmacology is a powerful tool in the development of new treatments, and the improvement of current practices in medicine.
