Drug action

The action of drugs on the human body is called pharmacodynamics, and what the body does with the drug is called pharmacokinetics. The drugs that enter the human tend to stimulate certain receptors, ion channels, act on enzymes or transporter proteins. As a result, they cause the human body to react in a specific way. There are two different types of drugs: * Agonists - they stimulate and activate the receptors * Antagonists - they stop the agonists from stimulating the receptors
