Description

Pharmacology can be a bit confusing when you are first learning about how drugs enter and are processed by the body. It is a very important concept to know well as we move forward with the administration of local anesthesia.

In this episode, we will review Potency, efficacy, and the therapeutic index. I will go over ways to remember each in a way that creates learning and understanding. You can do this!
