The department is actively involved in need based research in the applied pharmacology and therapeutics.

As the use of drugs or medicines is one of the principal ways of combating disease, a good physician has to be a good pharmacologist. We focus on "how the drugs work" and "how they can best be used in the treatment of various diseases".

Key Focus Areas:

• Various routes of drug administration and mechanisms of action
• Biological effects, pharmacokinetics and adverse drug reactions
• Therapeutic uses and dosage schedules of medications
• Development of new drugs through scientific research
• Training in rational drug therapy and prescription writing
