Pharmacology is the study of drugs, their sources, nature, properties, and their action on living things. The Department of Pharmacology is one of the basic science departments in the medical graduation course. It is concerned with the study and action of drugs.
A good physician has to be a good pharmacologist, and it becomes mandatory to find out "how the drugs work" and "how they can be used in the treatment of various diseases."
The Pharmacology Department at MNR has a congenial environment incorporating the latest audiovisual and computer-related techniques. There is a large museum with a wide range of drug samples, drug delivery systems, self-explanatory models, and charts to facilitate the teaching process. The department has all the facilities of research and promotes research activities.
