The Department of Pharmacology at Nandha Medical College and Hospital is involved in teaching Pharmacology to undergraduate MBBS students (3rd to 5th semester). Pharmacology, the study of drugs, constitutes an important science in the medical curriculum.
The department of pharmacology aims to impart knowledge about various aspects of drugs to the undergraduate students and also develop in them the initiative to involve in research activities. A wholistic knowledge of Pharmacology will enable the medical students to prescribe rationally as well as to identify drug related events and the importance of repoting them to appropriate authorities. It also deals with animal experiments, the development of new drugs and the ethical conduct of clinical trials.
There is a separate section for “Pharmacovigilance Committee” which deals different projects concerned with adverse drug reactions and clinical auditing.
