Not a pharmacologist, but pharmacokinetics is how the body affects the drugs (the liver enzymes turning the drugs into metabolites) whereas pharmacodynamics is how drugs affect the body (the mechanism of blocking pain) so I guess the video has a bit of both?
I'm not a pharmacologist, but I am a pharmacist. What I remember from school is that pharmacokinetics involves the ADME processes (absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion), whereas pharmacodynamics involves the mechanism of action. You are right that there is a brief mention of mechanism. However, the video focuses more on how the drug molecules move after ingestion and less on how the medicine works (i.e. COX-1 and COX-2 inhibition). ...and I've officially nerded out on RUclips XD
WeArePharmers Yup, you really have nerded out but don't worry, you're in good company. Also, you're right. It does focus more on the pharmacokinetics side of it. Thanks.
Not a medical professional or student. Just a sick guy at home curious about how this works. Fantastically simple explanation. I'm sure there is more nuance I'm gonna miss but this answered my questions. Thanks for the video!
This is honestly one of the best (and well explained/simple) videos I think I have ever watched. The animation is excellent and the narration is superb. I now understand how the body processes medicine more clearly now. Thank you.
Has anyone got that feeling when they're stuck in the Ted Ed loop? LIke, it's so hard ignore a Ted Ed vid in your recommendations and when you click it and finish it, there's always another one waiting for you in the side column. I've already got 2 hours of watching Ted Ed alone... But anyways, thank you so much Ted Ed for answering so many of our biggest questions.
I'm so thankful for this video! I Study medicine and had been trying to process a pharmacology lecture on this topic just now. SO glad I saw this before going to bed
knocknockify Alchohol is technically a poison, so while its in your system your liver is working like crazy. So it can't process your medicine at the same rate it would when you're sober and you could easily overdose.
knocknockify It depends on the drugs you're taking! Consuming alcohol with paracetamol, whose metabolites are toxic, for example, would result in even more toxicity to the liver. But in the case of hypnotic drugs like valium, its respiratory depression effect will be likely be multiplied if taking with alcohol, and that might be fatal. So tl;dr - Alcohol will make what's already bad worse ;)
Thankyou so much, I've been on medication for my epilepsy for years and it felt like magic. Which I wasn't particularly thrilled with for something so important, so it's nice to know how it works.
Really good explanation, explained the pharmacodynamics in an easy to understand way. During this special period, countless medical workers and scientists have made significant contributions to the world. worthy of respect
I’m currently on acne medication. I need to consume 11 amount of pills a day. I wondered how do the pills work in my body. Now I understand. Thank you!!
Such an exciting time to go into healthcare, I hope personalized medicine comes to fruition in the UK and helps us care for patients better as early as possible! :)
I don't know if I'm the only one but the reason I'm watching this it's because I sprained my ankle and I took an Advil pill and now I'm watching this to see what it's doing in my body
Those affect the levels of neurotransmitters during synaptic transmission. eg, people with depression generally have low serotonin levels meaning a low rate of fire for that neuron and so by blocking the selective re uptake molecules that reabsorb serotonin using SSRIs (selective serotonin re uptake inhibitors), the concentration increases and reverses the low serotonin levels, and in turn some of the symptoms. For ADD, adderal and other drugs can be used that block different re uptake molecules that are associated with Dopamine which helps with motivation and concentration.
Dear people that' reading this, we don't know each other but I wish you all the best in life don't ever blam yourself, accept things and a key for happy life.....
Pharmacokinetics focuses mainly on what the body does to the drug. To summarize its steps, remember ADME, Administration, distribution, metabolism, excretion.
dude, i was so scared of taking pills and stuff, it feels like putting poisen or unknown chemicals into your body, but now i know its not that bad, thanks.
Initially it was very tough to understand for me ,after seeing this video , because it is followed simple way to understand the process thanks for keeping this video❤️
As far as I know , the APIs of Ibuprofen molecule converting to inactive metabolites is termed as 1st pass metabolism. But why some molecule gets converted to inactive while some escape?. How the molecules manage to escape 1st pass metabolism in liver?
I'm having a migraine then i took one pill of paracetamol then I went to sleep,I don't know either with my sleep or that pill that stop myself from the pain.
Aleena there is no cure at the moment. Different people have different reactions to some of the “potentially helpful” drugs on the market and some have had great success changing small things like dietary changes or adding yoga to the routine (I can’t help but wonder if they had through chronic migraines or just tension headaches Simply because I haven’t been that lucky). It sucks. I take triptans, lay in the dark hoping to sleep it off. .. & life passes by. Ugh Fingers crossed they come up with something and I am sorry to hear you have them too.
And that's why the doctor recommends you to rest after taking the medicine! The lesser the heart rate, slower the blood will flow through the liver in a given time and therefore slower it will remove the medicine out of your body increasing it's effectiveness. Eureka!!
Probably the best and simplest explanation of pharmacodynamics I've ever seen. Brilliant. Thanks.
Fizan Ahmed ikr, I just took a pharmacology course and watching this is like a mini abstract
Wouldn't this be considered more pharmacokinetics than pharmacodynamics?

How does alcohol affects this process? I see warnings not to take medicines with alcohol
knocknockify Alchohol is technically a poison, so while its in your system your liver is working like crazy. So it can't process your medicine at the same rate it would when you're sober and you could easily overdose.
uh alcohol is actually a sin so idk
How is alcohol a sin...? Jesus literally turned water into wine once.
knocknockify It depends on the drugs you're taking! Consuming alcohol with paracetamol, whose metabolites are toxic, for example, would result in even more toxicity to the liver. But in the case of hypnotic drugs like valium, its respiratory depression effect will be likely be multiplied if taking with alcohol, and that might be fatal. So tl;dr - Alcohol will make what's already bad worse ;)
Alcohol is processed in the liver the same way as medicine. Taking medicine while consuming alcohol can overwork and damage your liver.
The visuals and the concise explanation with examples made it easy to understand even for the non-experts. It was great.
how about a video on how vaccination works?
Darsh Jalan They introduce a weakened form of whatever illness the vaccine is for and your body's immune system learns how to fight it.
anonymous yeah but still it would be good to see a more detailed version of your answer. Thanks for that by the way:)
Darsh Jalan No problem.
It doesn't. *grabs popcorn*
D1visor so then how does it work?
The animation, the music, her voice is so soothing! Amazing job!
This is why I love animated , simplified stuff for complex subjects like these , everybody gets it.
can you do a video on how inuslin works? like when diabetics take shots? i think that'd be so cool ☺
Jacob Braxton that would be fun to watch in a little animation
along with a video about Celiac disease and how it affects the body when those allergens enter the body. that'd be interesting to see. 👍
Insulin video would be awesome! I have PCOS and insulin resistance and something about that area would be cool
i read it muslim instead of insulin
Watch "nucleus media diabetes" it might help you :)
One of TED-Ed's the best illustrations, despite its simplicity. Thanks to everyone who's behind this great educational channel.

It was the simplest explanation of medicine reaction I have ever seen....and probably indelible as well....thank you so much
This is one of the best explanatory animations I've seen on anything. Great job.
By far,the best channel on RUclips.Every concept,every video gives you something new to learn and cherish
Calm down its not the best channel you are so childish i bet when you see people open a door you are amaze and in awe 😂
I was searching for this information for several days and I have found it here, thank you so much 😊
the intelligible illustration of the video is totally amazing,I cannot find other who is better than ted's
I *LOVE* this animation
Me too
It reminds me of the pinball counting animation from Sesame Street
this video is so beautifully made and the music is peaceful
watching this as i am on antibiotics every 8 hours, want to know what happens then. thank you! been learning a lot from ted! :)

Probably the best video on 💊....seems like I have travelled through my body along with the medicine . ANIMATION IS GREAT.
I’ve been wondering this forever. How amazing! A very well made video.
Omg i love this, this video popped up just when I needed a simple pharmacokinetic video to study with 😩
The details and the design in our body is a masterpiece
that was very informative and simple. Ted Ed you've done it again
Must say this , the animation is really brilliant and very useful way to understand pharmodynamics......

Whoever drew every scene of this video. IT LOOKS SO AMAZING!!! BRAVO!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️
The animation and music is an amazing art on its own....
The simplest way to explain pharmacodynamics.... Brilliant job 🌼
The way the animator truly represented the amazingly well-oganized incredible machine the human body is was just sublime to me.

What about drugs that affect your brain like to help ADD? (Ex: Concerta)
thenaynaycat it's slow release and has a tougher inner shell so it dissolves in the system slower
Those affect the levels of neurotransmitters during synaptic transmission. eg, people with depression generally have low serotonin levels meaning a low rate of fire for that neuron and so by blocking the selective re uptake molecules that reabsorb serotonin using SSRIs (selective serotonin re uptake inhibitors), the concentration increases and reverses the low serotonin levels, and in turn some of the symptoms.
