Pharmacodynamics of Wellness

Meaning

The Pharmacodynamics of Wellness is the study of the precise biochemical and physiological effects of therapeutic agents, particularly peptides and hormones, on the body when used not to treat overt disease but to optimize baseline health parameters. This clinical discipline focuses on the relationship between the concentration of an administered compound at its site of action and the resulting beneficial physiological outcome in a healthy individual. It is distinct from traditional pharmacodynamics, which primarily studies disease treatment.
