The Department of Pharmacology serves as a vital bridge between the basic sciences and clinical medicine. It focuses on the study of drugs, their actions, mechanisms, interactions, therapeutic uses, and adverse effects. The department is dedicated to producing competent medical professionals who can prescribe medications safely, rationally, and ethically. With a strong emphasis on experimental, clinical, and applied pharmacology, students are trained to understand both the science of drugs and their practical application in patient care.
