4 categories to understand pharmacology
chemistry
pharmacology
physiology
clinical
what does the chemistry show
just the family of drug
what does the pharmacology show
the target of the drug and its activity
what does the physiology show
the physical action of the drug in the body
what does clinical show
the generic idea
e.g. lidocaine is a local anaesthetic
mechanism of drug action
pharmacology is the primary MoDA: ligand-activity-target
physiology is the secondary MoDA: functional effects
