It encompasses the study of drug absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion, as well as mechanisms of action, therapeutic effects, and potential adverse reactions. Clinicians and researchers in this field evaluate how factors such as genetics, age, comorbidities, and drug–drug interactions influence medication response and safety. Pharmacology integrates foundational science with clinical decision‑making to support evidence‑based prescribing, optimize therapeutic outcomes, and promote safe, effective medication use across diverse patient populations.
