Pharmacodynamics of Custom Drugs

Meaning

The Pharmacodynamics of Custom Drugs describes the study of the precise biochemical and physiological effects of a specially compounded, patient-specific medication and its mechanism of action at the cellular and systemic level. This involves understanding how the unique combination of active ingredients, their concentration, and the specific delivery vehicle influence receptor binding, signal transduction, and the ultimate therapeutic response in the body. Assessing the pharmacodynamics is essential for accurately predicting clinical efficacy and managing potential drug-target interactions in a non-standard formulation.
