    Welcome all to IS PHARMACOLOGY DIFFICULT Podcast! I am Dr Radhika Vijay.
    Does your textbook cover all the minute details, I mean all, everything like trade names, drug information, purity, chemical, physical characteristics, etc? Well, if not, in today's episode you will get the knowledge of drug information sources, especially official ones.The collective term used for drug literature is "Drug Compendia". When I say its official, it means that government supervises it. The two main Official Drug Compendia are Pharmacopeia and Formulary.
    Pharmacopoeia is supervised in a country by a set of chosen physicians. It covers drug details like chemical structure and properties, physical properties and molecular weight, assay techniques, drug preservation and storage methods, etc. Such a kind of information is very useful for drug regulators and drug manufacturers. Its hardly of any use to the clinical practitioners. Some well known ones are IP (Indian pharmacopoeia), BP (British pharmacopoeia), USP (United States Pharmacopoeia)
    Next, I want to talk about Formulary, its supervised in a land by set of pharmacists. Very useful information like drug use indications, drug dose, dosage form, cautions, contraindications, side effects and much more is covered in this. Description of drug class precedes the discussion of drug itself. Some well known examples are British National Formulary (BNF), National Formulary of India (NFI). With this chit chat about Official Drug Compendia, next topic to be discussed is Non Official Drug Compendia, surely to be in next episode...I will be call it for the day, Wishing you all a great , safe weekend!!

    Welcome all to IS PHARMACOLOGY DIFFICULT Podcast! I am Dr Radhika Vijay.
    How Drug therapy evolved? What are the sources of drug information? Responses to these fireshot questions will be given in today's episode.
    Ancient Mesopotamian, Indian, Chinese, Egyptian records emphasized the disease nature to be something supernatural, a bad omen, Then greek mythology of four humors of body changed this belief and made patient the main focus. Development of science in a rapid manner proved all diseases affected different organs, so this lead to the main centre of research to be disease. Then came Microscope invention, all in all importance of drug therapy was gaining importance and demanded in depth knowledge and clinical skill and expertise. Drugs could prove both harmful and useful. Next I will be shifting my discussions towards Sources of Drug Information , I would broadly classify these in Primary, Secondary and Tertiary. Primary being original source of information. Secondary referring to review articles. tertiary is nothing but mix of both, summary embedded in text format.
    I will be giving a valuable tip to do research or find a query response, it goes as, start from tertiary to secondary to primary , i.e. backway or reverse order and it will maximise your quest in a simplified, easy, convenient and organised manner. With this great tip to study, research and memorise, I will be hinting the next episode content and call it for the day.

    What is the first thing or picture strikes you when you hear terms familiar something like Pharmacognosy, Pharmacogenetics or Pharmacy, etc. You might have heard these so important and many more like these, I will tell you about these and all familiar important branches of pharmacology today. Talking firstly about Pharmacognosy, its the study of drug sources, it also covers identification of drugs from different sources like animal and plant origin. Second, Pharmacogenetics is study of differences/ variations and resulting changes in drug responses and drug metabolism, which can occur at individual and/or at population level.Depending on sensitivity of individual, what is developed is individual Drug therapy. Right example at right time explains the whole story well! Next word of thought is all dedicated to details about Pharmacogenomics in which genomic technology is used to explore more drug characteristics, a good example tells it all....Next set of information is all about Pharmacoeconomics, centred around cost effectiveness of drug and drug therapy. As I approach the end talks, I will disclose my real talks about practical aspect of the subject too, about Pharmacy, in disguise I will spill over discussion focus towards Pharmaceutics. Then I will shift the conversation string towards Clinical Pharmacy and Closing words will sing songs about Biopharmaceutics.

    Welcome all to IS PHARMACOLOGY DIFFICULT Podcast! I am Dr Radhika Vijay.
    Do you know What is exactly Chemotherapy? What do you study in Clinical Pharmacology?Why Pharmacoepidemiology is so important? All these questions will be answered to the best of your knowledge and satisfaction in today's episode.
    Chemotherapy term was initially limited to drug effect upon microorganisms/parasites which are living/multiplying found in living organisms. Drugs possess selective toxicity for infecting organism or malignant cell at the same time, host stays unaffected. These drugs can be either pharmacodynamically effective or simply chemotherapeutic agents targeting only malignant cell or infective organism sparing the host.
    Secondly, I will be talking about Clinical Pharmacology, it mainly covers clinical use of drugs, evaluation done in both diseased and non diseased patients. Useful insights are gained about drug potency, efficacy, appropriate use, dose and adverse effects of drugs. Many other aspects are covered in this field also which I will tell you. I will be summarizing key aspects and importance of Clinical Pharmacology.
    A bonus set of information about one last branch for the day will be spoken about by me too.
    The name of branch is "Pharmacoepidemiology" In this is studied effect of drugs on population. Until and unless not widely used by population, risk benefit ratio of drug cannot be determined, that is what marks the importance of this branch
    More such important and informative branches will be discussed in next upcoming episodes that really ought to be known as a part/branch /subdivision of pharmacology.

    Welcome all to IS PHARMACOLOGY DIFFICULT Podcast! I am Dr Radhika Vijay. Do you know about Poison? Is their study a part of Pharmacology? What could be totally opposite branch?
    These queries will be answered in today's episode. Let the talk commence..
    Chemical actions can take place at two main levels, individual and environment Individual effects occurring at intended organs produce therapeutic effect while effects at unwanted target sites produce toxic or harmful effects. In environment drug effects spread from organism to other via food chain and toxicity accumulates.
    On Individual level, the term for the branch is Medical Pharmacology or Toxicology while its Environmental Toxicology at the other end. Toxicology is a science of poisons. It is the branch of Pharmacology dealing with unwanted, undesirable effects, rather better to say, poisonous effects of drugs/chemicals which belong household, industry, pollution, agriculture, etc.
    More interesting aspects like poison detection, prevention and cure. Symptoms and adverse effects are also considered. I would love to tell you two famous drug quotes related to toxicology.
    Next I will be shifting my centre of talks from Toxicology to Pharmacotherapeutics. This branch deals with therapeutic and clinical application of subject knowledge along with drug information to relieve the patient from disease. Its a vaste field covering lot of shades like appropriate drug dose, time duration, signs, symptoms and disease stage, patient features and compliance and finally cure of disease. This shift of talk is so relieving not only for me but surely for you all too! with upcoming episode on more branches of pharmacology, let me wave y'all a b'bye.

    Would love to know your opinions & expectations -Dr Radhika Vijay

    Welcome all to IS PHARMACOLOGY DIFFICULT Podcast ! I am Dr Radhika Vijay, in today's episode I will be answering questions as to What is a drug? How do you define a drug and whether it is same as medicine?
    Medicines have always been a close companion of man from birth till death.Purpose of medicine is to provide relief and comfort to man. Drug is derived from french term. Broadly speaking, it is a chemical substance which affects living systems . used to prevent, diagnose or cure a disease. But such a definition is not satisfactory. WHO defines it very nicely and completely as "Any substance or product which is used or intended to be used to modify or explore physiological systems or pathological states for the benefit of recipient."
    Safe , sound and complete knowledge of all the different drug aspects is highly advised and recommended. Finishing with furnished drug details and fine explanations, I will be laying next topics' foundation by telling the importance of knowing the different divisions/ subdivisions/ branches of pharmacology.

    Would love to know your opinions & expectations -Dr Radhika Vijay

    Welcome all to IS PHARMACOLOGY DIFFICULT Podcast! I am Dr Radhika Vijay, I welcome you all to. History is history, Prehistorically people used crude drugs, substances to cure their ailments, diseases, etc. They superstitiously believed that most of the diseases were due to excess of bile and blood in body. Slowly, eventually, scientific belief and observation took over this old school of thought. In 18th century in British continent, literature evolved as a product of many experiments etc, the old book evolved is named as "Materia medica". Its a pioneer in literature in this subject. Still theoretical basis and hypothesis lacked to describe mechanism of action and true nature of drugs. Pioneering in this field was done by Francois Magendie, Claude Bernard, Rudolf Buccheim and Oswald Schiemedberg in variety of manner. From then till date, there has been revolutionary changes in this field.
    Pharmacology is broken in greek terms, Pharmacon and Logos. its the study of chemical substances that alter mechanism in living beings through chemical processes by binding to the regulatory molecules. Further I will be describing more aspects of this branch of science, and its coverage widespread to affect living systems of humans and animals, also drug use, drug effects, etc.Finally I will derive a proper definition for the term "PHARMACOLOGY", leaving a quest to know more especially about the term "Drug", but that will unfold another story in another episode. With these remarks, i mark the conclusion of today's episode.
