Practice and Research in Clinical Pharmacology

Dear Colleagues,

Clinical pharmacology is a medical discipline whose main interest is to assess the benefit–risk balance of drug therapy at both population and individual levels in order to provide the best possible therapy to patients and to the right dose. Thus, it involves on one hand the scientific evaluation of drugs during clinical development (clinical trials and drug regulation) and clinical use (drug utilization, comparative effectiveness, pharmacovigilance, pharmacoeconomics and drug policies). On the other hand, it is a medical discipline devoted to direct patient care through drug individualization (therapeutic drug monitoring, pharmacogenetics and system clinical pharmacology) and consultancy on drug-related problems (adverse drug reactions, interactions, drug toxicology, drug selection and individual benefit–risk assessment).

Journal of Clinical Medicine has given us the opportunity to show the scope of clinical pharmacology to a broad audience and the relevance of this discipline in clinical practice. Therefore, we are looking for outstanding original manuscripts and reviews showing the broad and transversal character of clinical pharmacology as a scientific and medical discipline, especially for manuscripts dealing with all those aspects of clinical pharmacology with a relevant impact on patient care.
