pharmacology.tv Open PharmaCAL
Computer-assisted learning for pharmacology

Every pharmacology practical, without the animal house.

PharmaCAL simulates the experiments in the NMC MBBS curriculum and the MD/MSc pharmacology practicals: dog blood pressure, organ baths, bioassays, CNS screening and toxicity tests. The Tutorial and demo of every experiment are free; colleges and students buy full access, and colleges run graded exams.

No sign-up needed for the demo. Works on laptops, tablets and phones.

The dog BP experiment, the way it ran on the drum

Inject adrenaline, block α receptors and watch Dale’s vasomotor reversal appear on a polygraph or smoked-drum record, with heart rate and breathing traced alongside.

  • 16 drugs, carotid occlusion and vagal stimulation
  • 12 guided protocols, from normal responses to physiological antagonism
  • Unknown-drug practice that marks your identification
  • Print the record book or export it as CSV

PG: isolated organs

Organ-bath bioassays with real numbers

Build dose–response curves on guinea pig ileum, rat uterus or fundus, shift them with an antagonist, and work out pA2 from a Schild plot or the strength of an unknown with Fieller limits.

  • Six isolated tissues, including the Langendorff heart
  • Dose–response, Schild plot and bioassay sheets built in
  • Unknown-drug and bioassay exams

Turn the set-up around before you touch it

Every organ-bath experiment, the dog BP set-up and the Langendorff heart open in an interactive 3D view: drag to turn, pinch to zoom, and label each part.
