Doxicology

Doxicology is a branch of pharmacology that studies how drugs affect the body and how the body processes drugs. It focuses on understanding the therapeutic effects of medications, as well as their potential side effects, toxicity, and interactions with other substances. Doxicology helps ensure that drugs are safe and effective for use in treating illnesses. It plays a crucial role in drug development and regulation, guiding healthcare professionals in prescribing medications and monitoring patient safety. Essentially, it bridges the gap between drug action and patient care, helping to optimize treatments while minimizing risks.
