Pharmacodynamics is the topic of 4th sem, B.Pharmacy. Here, we have provided the MCQs (MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTIONS) for the preparation of B.Pharmacy and GPAT.
Pharmacodynamics
It is defined as the study of the biochemical and physiological effects of drugs and their mode of action, including the correlation of their action and effect with their chemical structure. It is the study of what a drug does to the body. The effect of drugs on the living organism.
