Schild's Law

Schild's Law is a principle in pharmacology that describes how the effectiveness of a drug is reduced when another drug competes with it for the same target. Specifically, if a drug (the antagonist) blocks the effect of another drug (the agonist), the dose of the agonist needed to achieve a specific effect increases, reflecting that the antagonist is interfering. Essentially, it illustrates the balance between competing substances and how they influence each other's effectiveness in the body, helping researchers understand drug interactions and guide medication dosage.
