T2  - Physical Therapist Assistant Examination Review and Test-Taking Skills
AB  - Pharmacology  is  the  study  of  how  drugs  (chemicals)  affect  the  physiology  of  the  body.  Physical  therapists  and  physical  therapist  assistants  have  direct  contact  with  patients  taking  medication  to  impact  response  to  exercise  and  movement.  Most  of  your  patients  will  be  taking  medication  related  to  their  condition,  and  it  is  important  to  understand  how  drugs  will  impact  the  patient  and  physical  therapy  treatment.  Patients  today  have  access  to  prescribed  medications  and  over-the-counter  (OTC)  formulations  such  as  herbs,  vitamins,  and  tinctures.  The  benefits  of  both  OTC  and  prescribed  medications  are  varied,  but  a  key  point  is  a  need  for  health  care  professionals  to  understand  the  benefits,  side  effects,  signs,  and  symptoms  of  medications  working  correctly  or  when  they  are  not.  This  section  will  provide  a  general  overview  of  the  basic  principles  of  pharmacology.
