Introduction to Pharmacology

[@sambaniago9938]

I'm a pharmacist myself and yet this guy helped me in simplifying the concepts I've been dealing with in my profession. A million thanks Professor Dave! Keep it up!

[@Shoegaze-]

Do you recommend the profession?

[@onichan924]

@@Shoegaze- I’ve heard two of the pharmacists I work with say they would’ve done something else if they could go back. Take that as you will.

[@onichan924]

I’m a pharmacy technician

[@Rifatbinmaruf]

@@onichan924 Do you happen to know why is that the case? I'm a biochem undergrad so the answer would help me decide my career path. Thanks!

[@onichan924]

@@Rifatbinmaruf well it’s just the retail environment… it’s stressful and lately our company at least is overloading our pharmacists with work while cutting their help…. For instance there’s supposed to be 2 pharmacists working together and ever since covid it’s been just one…. But he’s expected the accurately verify every prescription… while giving/pushing vaccines… and being pulled in four different directions from all out technicians. Kinda like when a parent is on the phone and the kid is like” mom mom mom mom” but instead of 1 kid it’s 4 at once. It’s really stressful and their not adequately compensated. It might be different in a hospital/compounding pharmacy setting…

Hmmm now I understand why Pharmacology is considered one of the most difficult subjects in med courses It's because it needs these: Chemistry, Biochem, Bio, Anatomy and Physiology, and Microbiology.

[@ericas9712]

I’m a pharmacy student and I am SO EXCITED for this because your videos always clear things up for me and I just started pharmacology this semester!

I'm studying pharmacy right now and it's fun to go back and refresh my memory! Thanks for this!

[@chloemurphy876]

Yay! Pharmacy student here, can’t wait for this series!

[@cguy96]

I look forward to your content on bioequivalence and biosimilarity. Things have come a long way. I remember a number of years ago when I would get into a discussion with a pharmacist (Ph.D.) who would argue that the term bioequivalence as applied to generics meant that the generics were identical to the brand name. Now, they all know that there is a precise FDA meaning behind bioequivalence for Orange Book listed drugs, and it doesn’t mean identical. This series should be very interesting. I have a feeling I will be learning a number of new things!

[@Eludinium]

I've just finished first year and the 2nd yearers said this was the most difficult (biomedical science), so I'm getting ahead during summer break. Thank-you for making this possible!

[@robson6285]

Yes!! This is interesting! This is gonna be one of the most interesting and most watched series of his lessons, i think! I'm really glad he started to teach about this subject, and i think many more! So: thanks for this lessons!

[@cazzawazzadingdong5139]

Thanks for this informative video. I don't deny the importance of various life-saving drugs on the market today, however, I do feel as though we are increasingly turning to pharmaceuticals, for lifestyle-related disease, rather than identifying the underlying root cause.

[@ProfessorDaveExplains]

Is that conclusion based on facts or feelings? Hint: it's the latter.

[@cazzawazzadingdong5139]

@@ProfessorDaveExplains No it's based on science. It is well known that elements of lifestyle, such as no exercise, poor diet, smoking, and stress, are known to affect health and put us at higher risk of disease and mortality. Did you miss the part where I said "lifestyle-related disease" Considering the below statistics my comment that we turn to drugs rather than intervention is warranted. www.cdc.gov/nchs/products/databriefs/db347.htm

[@ProfessorDaveExplains]

Why do these realms even deserve to be related? Prevention and treatment have nothing to do with each other. Plus, I'm pretty sure our current culture is obsessed with diet and exercise. It's practically a cult. I'm more concerned with the alt-health industry peddling misinformation and "alternative" treatments that promote anti-science mentality. It's very damaging.

[@cazzawazzadingdong5139]

​@@ProfessorDaveExplains"Why is this related"? Simply because many of your watchers are future medical professionals and I was merely pointing out the fact that healthy lifestyle practises such as "nutrition is insufficiently incorporated into medical education, regardless of country, setting, or year of medical education and these deficits in nutrition education affect students' knowledge, skills, and confidence to implement nutrition care into patient care" according to lancet journals meta-analysis of 24 studies www.thelancet.com/journals/lanplh/article/PIIS25425196(19)30171-8/fulltext "I'm pretty sure" you are making unwarranted assumptions .;) ( just some banter for the"feelings" comment - well-played btw, you are correct, feelings have no place in science). If diet and exercise were indeed the primary focus of this so-called majority "cult" then lifestyle diseases would not be noted as a leading cause of all-cause mortality by the WHO. I'm with you on alternative treatments promoting anti-science, it is indeed damaging.

Do you know about the books which help us to understand how the brain affects human behavior? For example, you might know that addiction is due to the secretion of dopamine in the brain, so I want to understand exactly which chemicals are responsible for different kinds of behaviors.

[@terminusest5902]

The idea of natural being good and synthetic bad is incorrect. There are many natural toxins that can cause serious harm. Though in very small doses may have some benefit. Many modern drugs were developed from existing natural chemicals. And many commonly used and effective drugs can be dangerous in excessive doses. So for both natural and synthetic chemicals may be used effectively or used badly with toxic effects. Any chemical needs to be used correctly. And chemicals can effect different chemicals differently. I once had a patient prescribed with a potentially deadly dose of warfarin. Warfarin is used to thin blood and stop clotting. After checking a few sources I found that my patient had a very high tolerance for warfarin. Warfarin has been around for a long time. It is used in baits to kill rats. When given to people a number of checks are needed. This may include a blood clotting test to calculate the dosage. So this is developed from a natural chemical. And it can be used or misused. And doctors and nurses need to take extra steps to ensure its safe use. But it is also very cheap and effective so it is still widely used. It saves many lives'. An example of a natural chemical widely used for many years and remains safe when used correctly. There are many other examples. Some very good drugs that need to be used safely. Warfarin can protect against dangerous blood clots. There are a number of other options that include synthetic chemicals. Some are very costly. And have slightly different benefits. Some people just use small doses of aspirin which is also a naturally occurring drug also used for pain. And also very cheap.
