Pharmacology is a subject, which connects the other disciplines of pharmaceutical sciences with medicine. This branch of science equips a student with the ability to appreciate the establishment of dose, dosage, safety, efficacy, mechanisms and disposition of medicines. Pharmacology gives immense scope for exploration in to diversified subdomains such as signaling, molecular mechanisms of medicines, clinical pharmacology, biopharmaceutics, non-clinical and clinical trials. This opens up opportunities for further academic upgradation, sometimes with funded research projects of national importance supported by government funding agencies. The pharmaceutical industry, especially clinical research organizations offer variety of career opportunities in different business verticals such as basic pharmacological research, pre-clinical toxicology, clinical pharmacology, quality assurance, compliance, medical/scientific writing, pharmacovigilance, marketing (scientific/product management) and many more…

Jaya College of Paramedical Sciences, College of Pharmacy got its full-fledged, independent pharmacology department on August 2007 by transferring faculty hitherto associated with Pharmacy programmes from this Department. D.Pharm Students have pharmacology in the second year of their two year Programme. B Pharm students have pharmacology in the third and final years of their four year programme. For Pharm D students have pharmacology and clinical toxicology was taught in the second, third and fourth year respectively.. The Department of Pharmacology is handling Anatomy & Physiology for first year D.Pharm, B Pharm and Pharm D students.
