Pharmacodynamics - PowerPoint PPT Presentation


Understanding Graded Dose-Response Relationships in Pharmacodynamics

Graded dose-response relationships in pharmacodynamics involve how drug effects depend on concentrations at receptor sites. The potency and efficacy of drugs can be determined through these relationships. Potency refers to the amount of drug needed for a specific effect, while efficacy relates to th
