It delves into the intricate interactions between drugs and the human body, focusing on pharmacokinetics, which explains the dynamics of drug actions in the body, and pharmacodynamics, which uncovers the mechanisms through which drugs exert their effects. The book also emphasizes the crucial aspects of therapeutics and gene-based therapy, shedding light on modern approaches to disease treatment. Readers will gain insights into drugs that target the autonomic nervous system, influencing functions beyond voluntary control, and drugs that act on the central nervous system, impacting neurological processes. Additionally, the book examines medications affecting renal and cardiovascular functions, playing a significant role in maintaining homeostasis. Moreover, it explores the realm of drugs influencing gastrointestinal function, essential for digestive health. Furthermore, the book covers pharmacotherapy for microbial diseases, addressing the challenge of infectious agents and their treatment. It also investigates hormones and hormone antagonists, pivotal in regulating various physiological processes. Lastly, it provides a comprehensive understanding of drugs used for immunomodulation, which plays a crucial role in enhancing or suppressing the immune system. The book serves as a resource for students, researchers, and healthcare professionals seeking a deep understanding of drug interactions, therapeutic applications, and cutting-edge approaches in pharmacology. 606 $aPharmacology 606 $aPharmacovigilance 606 $aDrug delivery systems 606 $aGenetics$xResearch 606 $aNeurosciences 606 $aCardiology 606 $aPharmacology 606 $aDrug Safety and Pharmacovigilance 606 $aDrug Delivery 606 $aGenetics Research 606 $aNeuroscience 606 $aCardiology 615 0$aPharmacology. 615 0$aPharmacovigilance. 615 0$aDrug delivery systems. 615 0$aGenetics$xResearch. 615 0$aNeurosciences. 615 0$aCardiology. 615 14$aPharmacology. 615 24$aDrug Safety and Pharmacovigilance. 615 24$aDrug Delivery. 615 24$aGenetics Research. 615 24$aNeuroscience. 615 24$aCardiology. 676 $a613.8 702 $aChakraverty$b Raja 702 $aMathur$b Rajani 702 $aChakraborty$b Pranabesh 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910869177403321 996 $aEssentials of Pharmacodynamics and Drug Action$94170538 997 $aUNINA
