The Department of Pharmacology at Dr. Ithape Institute of D. Pharmacy focuses on the science of drug action on biological systems, bridging the gap between basic sciences and clinical applications. Pharmacology covers the sources, chemical properties, biological effects, and therapeutic uses of drugs, making it a core discipline not only for pharmacy but also for medicine, nursing, dentistry, and veterinary sciences.

​

Pharmacological studies range from examining the effects of drugs on cells and subcellular mechanisms, to evaluating the safety of pesticides and chemicals, to exploring drug therapies for the prevention and treatment of major diseases. By integrating knowledge from multiple scientific disciplines, pharmacology provides a unique perspective on solving health-related challenges and contributes to the discovery of new drugs, therapies, and medicinal products.
