Drugs That Changed the World: How Do Drugs Work‪?‬

Basic Principles of Drug Action

Publisher Description

This book supports a lecture of the same title, delivered as part of The University of Western Australia’s pharmacology course in a unit titled Drugs That Changed the World (PHAR1101).

It uses a case study in which metoprolol is prescribed as an introduction to the basic principles of drug action. It also discusses the pharmacological properties of metoprolol in relation to other drugs.

The book and lecture introduce a number of concepts that are important in pharmacology, including binding, affinity, efficacy, and the dose-dependency of both the therapeutic and adverse effects of drugs.
