Pharmacology is the study of medications, including the study of disease-specific medications, the pharmacokinetics of medicines and biochemical effect of medications on disease states. Pharmacologists research new medications and help discover new classes of medications. Pharmacists are trained to dispense medications to patients and to give advice about the effects of a particular medicine. The study of pharmacology also looks into interactions between various types of medication as there are situations where two medications negatively affect one another.
