Pharmacology
The Department of Pharmacology is a core department of the B.Pharmacy program that deals with the study of drugs and their effects on living systems. The department provides comprehensive knowledge of pharmacodynamics, pharmacokinetics, mechanisms of drug action, adverse drug reactions, drug interactions, and toxicology.
The department emphasizes both theoretical learning and practical training through well-equipped pharmacology laboratories, including simulation-based experiments as per regulatory guidelines. Students gain knowledge of experimental pharmacology, clinical pharmacology, and principles of rational drug therapy.
The department aims to develop competent pharmacy graduates capable of contributing to pharmaceutical industries, clinical research, pharmacovigilance, regulatory affairs, hospital pharmacy, and higher education.
