The subjects in Pharmacology introduce students to the unified study of the interaction of chemical agents and living matter. The emphasis is placed on the principles of drug action and on the reactions of living processes to drugs. Toxicology, a division of Pharmacology, is concerned with the adverse effects on life of therapeutic drugs and other chemicals. Toxicology is of increasing relevance to modern society. Pharmacology 534-201 provides an introduction to the important concepts of Pharmacology and Toxicology and may be taken to provide the basis for more advanced studies in Pharmacology and Toxicology at the 300-level or to supplement a major study in another discipline.
