General Pharmacology (Theory)
By Harshal Dipak Borse, Uma Chudaman Patil, Nagargoje Sangram Gangadhar & Kashmira Kailas Malusare
General pharmacology is the grammar of the whole subject. Before a student can reason about a single drug class,
they need a sure grip on what a drug is, how the body takes it in and clears it, how it acts at its target,
how its effect is measured and made safe, and how it is discovered, tested, and regulated. This book provides
that foundation, covering all essential aspects of drug action, drug-receptor interactions, pharmacokinetics,
pharmacodynamics, adverse reactions, and the principles of drug development and regulation.

About This Book
This comprehensive textbook has been specially designed to meet the requirements of third-semester B.Pharm

factors influencing drug action, and principles of toxicology. Each chapter includes clear explanations, clinical
correlations, and practical examples to help students understand and apply pharmacological principles.
