Understanding Variability in Drug Response

Introduction and Perspectives.
Do you have a problem understanding what all those numbers and equations mean in pharmacology, and how to apply them? Unfortunately many people do. Yet it is important for us to be able to understand them because they provide an insight into the variability that occurs in therapeutics, and help us develop solutions to therapeutic problems.

These series of video lectures take you through a conceptual approach towards pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics, and help you see the application of these approaches in understanding and dealing with drug response variability.
