Exploring Pharmacodynamics: Receptor Theory and Drug Action

Today we start our new series of General Pharmacology Principles. The first topic is "Intro to Pharmacodynamics." I start by discussing the different MOA a drug can work by and then having a deeper look at receptors (01:54). Then I look at the Law of Mass Action and how this applies to receptor affinity (10:32). This brings me to a very important LO which examines the dose-effect relationships of drugs with a look a at some really important graphs (13:42). There is only one SAQ to review at the end (29:56). Next episode I will go through 'Intro to PK.' Thanks for listening! As always if you have any feedback let me know @ anirudh@sweetdreamsanaesthesia.com
