Pharmacology

Professor Dave Explains via YouTube

Overview

Pharmacology is the branch of medicine concerned with the uses, effects, and modes of action of drugs. How exactly do drugs work? What do they do in the body? Why is this the best way to cure disease? How do specific drugs work?

In this playlist we will go over some basics first, and then go through a survey of drugs so that we can better understand what they do on a molecular level.
