10. REFERENCES
Pharmacology is defined as the study of substances that interact with living systems through chemical processes, especially by binding to regulatory molecules and activating or
inhibiting normal body processes. These substances commonly known as drugs. Drugs might produce more than one effect, beneficial therapeutic effects or, in the other hand,
undesirable effects on living systems adverse or toxic effects. Pharmacology refers to a very broad area of study. Pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics are two basic subject
area of pharmacology. There are several sources of drugs, including plant, animal, microorganism and chemical
synthesis. Drug candidates undergo several tests for screening their pharmacologic profile and activity as well as their selectivity. The safety and efficacy of drugs must be defined
before they can be marketed; therefore some preclinical pharmacologic and toxicity testing including invitro and animal studies, as well as clinical study phase 1 – 4 must be
performed. Many factors affecting the action of drug in our body including the route of drug
administration which is related to drug preparation or drug form, age, sex, weight, genetic variation, the presence of other disease or interaction with other drug drug interaction.
Drug interaction refers to the effects that occur when the actions of one drug are affected by another drug. Drug interaction might affect the pharmacokinetic or pharmacodynamics
process of drug that subsequently affects the drug action or effect. Related to the regulation of drug distribution in Indonesia, Indonesian Ministry of Health has
already classified marketed drugs into five groups of drugs free drug, limited free drug, hard drug, psychotropic drug and narcotics. Generally, in the world, drugs are divided into
prescription and nonprescription drugs over the counter drugs OTC drugs. Drugs can also be classified into patent drugs, generic drugs and branded generic drugs.
