Polypharmacology is a research area that focuses on studying the effects of multiple drugs on a biological system, with the goal of understanding how combining multiple drugs can lead to better therapeutic outcomes. This approach recognizes that many diseases are complex and may require targeting multiple pathways or mechanisms to effectively treat them. By studying how different drugs interact with each other and with biological systems, researchers can develop more effective and tailored treatment strategies for various medical conditions. Polypharmacology also involves studying drug combinations to identify potential synergistic effects or side effects that may occur when multiple drugs are used together. Overall, polypharmacology aims to optimize drug therapy and improve patient outcomes by considering the broader interactions between drugs and biological systems.
