About the Book

Pharmacology practical involves a variety of activities, including:
• Drug administration: Demonstrating how to administer drugs
• Dose calculation: Calculating the correct dose of a drug
• Adverse drug reaction reporting: Reporting any adverse reactions to drugs
• Laboratory techniques: Developing skills for working in a pharmacology lab
• Data handling: Learning how to handle data in a pharmacology lab
• Experimental result communication: Learning how to communicate experimental results in different formats, such as posters, presentations, and project reports
Pharmacology is the study of how drugs interact with living organisms, and how drugs affect biochemical and physiological functions. Drugs can be natural, man-made, or endogenous (from within the body). Pharmacology also involves studying the derivation, chemical properties, and therapeutic uses of drugs.
Some books that may be useful for learning about pharmacology include:
• Practical Pharmacology
A book by Mr. Hari Prasad Sonwani that covers topics such as spots, prescriptions, therapeutic problems, and drug interactions
• Practical Pharmacology for the Pharmaceutical Sciences
A lab survival guide for students that focuses on laboratory techniques and data handling
• Pharmacology A Practical Manual for Medical Students
Medicinal chemistry :
Medicinal chemistry practical work involves the design, creation, and refinement of molecules to create or improve drugs. It also includes learning how to handle chemicals and apparatus, and understanding the theoretical and practical aspects of reactions.
Some things to consider when doing medicinal chemistry practical work include:
• Safety: Wear appropriate gloves, shoes, and eye protection. Neoprene gloves offer good protection against many chemicals, and disposable nitrile gloves are adequate for most undergraduate labs.
• Glassware: Clean glassware thoroughly.
• Regent bottles: Replace regent bottles on the shelves immediately after use.
