Every clinician needs a robust understanding of pharmacology. We need to be clear on how the drugs that our patients are taking are working. Before we can assess or diagnose, we need to know what effects the drugs a patient is taking may be having, and especially what the adverse effects may be. A substantial number of people have symptoms and problems with their medications but don’t know or recognise these.
