A scientific discipline of the living, subdivision of biology, which studies the mechanisms of interaction between an active substance and the organism in which it evolves, so that it can then be used for therapeutic purposes, such as drug development (mainly) or improvement.

To do this, pharmacology integrates concepts and data from physiology, physio-pathology, biochemistry, genetics and molecular biology.

The field of pharmacology can be extended since it also studies the means of drug administration, drug interactions and the adverse effects of these drugs (lateral effects, side effects).

This medical discipline is strongly linked to basic research, clinical research and public health (pharmacoepidemiology), but also to toxicology.
