Question 1 of 5
What is the definition of pharmacodynamics?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: The study of how drugs interact with specific drug receptors to produce a physiological response. Pharmacodynamics focuses on how drugs exert their effects on the body by binding to specific receptors, leading to biological responses. This involves understanding drug-receptor interactions and the subsequent cellular and molecular changes that occur.
Choice A is incorrect because it refers to pharmaceutics, which involves the formulation and manufacturing of drugs into dosage forms.
Choice B is incorrect as it describes pharmacokinetics, which deals with the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion of drugs in the body.
Choice D is incorrect as it pertains to the process of drug development and testing for safety and efficacy, which falls under pharmacology but not specifically pharmacodynamics.
