Pharmacology studies the properties and actions that medication produces in organisms, making it a biological science. Any chemical substance that interacts in the living organism is called a pharmaceutical drug. In a more restricted sense, and as it will be considered in this program, a drug is any chemical substance used to prevent the appearance of an undesirable physiological process, or in the treatment, cure, prevention or diagnosis of a disease. 

Medicines are therefore drugs that are used for therapeutic purposes, alone or in combination, representing a specialty. The action of drugs in the body, as well as their origin, synthesis, preparation, properties, actions from the molecular level to the level of the whole organism, their way of positioning and moving in the body, forms of administration, therapeutic indications, toxic actions, form the knowledge of pharmacology. It becomes, therefore, a multidisciplinary field that admits professionals from molecular biologists to psychotherapists. 

This Postgraduate diploma covers all the current pharmacological knowledge along with the whole universe of expertise that psychologists need to be able to develop their role as psychotherapists in interaction and total coordination with doctors in order to, from there, improve the patient's treatment.
