About Book
The main aim of experimental pharmacology is to study the effects of drugs on living organisms and apply this knowledge in treatment. Animal experiments have traditionally been a part of pharmacology teaching, but they involve ethical concerns, are expensive, time-consuming, and difficult to perform due to animal welfare regulations. Therefore, alternatives to animal experimentation have been introduced worldwide.
Problem-based learning and computer-assisted learning (CAL) using simulation models and audio-visual aids are now widely used. These methods provide an interactive and student-friendly learning environment. This book contains 15 experiments, each explaining the aim, principles, procedures, observations, and precautions. Questions at the end of each chapter help students assess their understanding. Faculty demonstrations, CAL training, group discussions, and proper analysis of results are essential for effective learning.
