Farmacología

Farmacología is the branch of science that studies how medicines (drugs) interact with the body to prevent, treat, or manage diseases. It explores how drugs are absorbed, distributed, metabolized, and eliminated, as well as their effects on cells and organs. This knowledge helps doctors choose the right medicines and dosages, ensuring they are effective and safe. Essentially, pharmacology bridges the understanding of biological processes and chemical substances to improve health outcomes through appropriate medication use.
