- Pharmacodynamics is the study of a drug's molecular, biochemical, and physiologic

receptor sensitivity), postreceptor effects, and chemical interactions.
Pharmacodynamics, with pharmacokinetics (what the body does to a drug, or the
fate of a drug within the body), helps explain the relationship between the dose and
response, ie, the drug's effects. The pharmacologic response depends on the drug

drug’s effect.

chemicals (xenobiotics) during their passage through the body and as such encompass
