Pharmacotherapy
application |of |drugs |for |the |purpose |of |treating |diseases |and |alleviating |human |suffering
Therapeutic |classification
- |organizing |drugs |based |on |their |therapeutic |usefulness |in |treating |particular |diseased |or |
disorders
- |clearly |states |what |the |drug |does |clinically |(Ex. |drug |used |for |stroke)
