| Abstract: | General Pharmacology consists of two fields of interest, pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics. The most important concept in pharmacodynamics is the dose-response relationship, which describes the dependence of the effect of a drug from its concentration at its receptor. Main topics in pharmacokinetics are the distribution of drugs in the various compartments of the body and the time course of their concentration in the blood. Important terms used in pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics are explained. |
