About the Book :

To impart skills to budding pharmacologists, experimental pharmacology is an essential area of training. This practical book represents a blend of ideas from other laboratory manuals, text books, CPCSEA guidelines and one’s past experience in pharmacology laboratories.

This practical book covers all essential components to impart the necessary required skills to students in the subject of pharmacology as per prevailing regulations in the country. The book is written for the fourth semester B. Pharmacy students as per the PCI new syllabus.

The experiments are designed to acquaint the student with various pharmacological and toxicological principles or concepts. A brief introductory material is provided in the experiments in order to understand the theoretical background. The procedures have been kept as simple as possible, since the experiments depend on student participation. The students are expected to read each experiment thoroughly before performing the experiment and collect data carefully
