Pharmacodynamics (PD) is the study of the biochemical and physiologic effects of drugs (especially pharmaceutical drugs). The effects can include those manifested within animals (including humans), microorganisms , or combinations of organisms (for example, infection ).

The action of drugs on the human body (or any other organism's body) is called pharmacodynamics, and the body's response to drugs is called pharmacokinetics. The drugs that enter an individual tend to stimulate certain receptors, ion channels, act on enzymes or transport proteins. As a result, they cause the human body to react in a specific way.
Pharmacodynamics theory often investigates the binding affinity of ligands to their receptors. Ligands can be agonists , partial agonists or antagonists at specific receptors in the body. Agonists bind to receptors and produce a biological response, a partial agonist produces a biological response lower than that of a full agonist, antagonists ...

Pharmacodynamics: the study of the cellular and molecular interactions of drugs with their receptors. Simply "What the drug does to the body" [ 38 ] Pharmacokinetics : the study of the factors that control the concentration of drug at various sites in the body.
Pharmacodynamics – what drugs do to the body and how. This includes not just the cellular and molecular aspects, but also more relevant clinical measurements. For example, not just the pharmacological actions of salbutamol , a beta2-adrenergic receptor agonist , but the respiratory peak flow rate of both healthy volunteers and patients.
