What are the Challenges in Pharmacodynamic Studies?
Conducting pharmacodynamic studies in the context of epidemiology presents several challenges:
1. Variability in Populations: Differences in age, sex, genetic makeup, and comorbidities can affect drug response, making it difficult to generalize findings. 2. Complex Interactions: Drugs often interact with multiple pathways and receptors, complicating the analysis of their effects. 3. Ethical Considerations: Ensuring the safety and well-being of study participants while obtaining meaningful data is a constant balancing act.
