The Science is known as Pharmacology basically deals with drugs and all aspects of them. It includes the study of drugs or chemicals and the effects they have on living animals. Pharmacology explains what drugs are, what they do to body functions, and what the body does to them. Pharmacology also explains why a person may experience side effects when they take drugs and why there is such a wide spectrum of differences between drug actions in different people.
