PHARMACOLOGY IN SPACE MEDICINE

Abstract

The study of the specific effect of medications under laboratory experimental conditions (G loads, weightlessness, prolonged isolation, etc.) and possible emergency situations (change in environmental gases, radiation effects, upset in meal schedule, etc.) is a necessary stage in the preparation for long space missions. Two basic aspects of the general problems of space pharmacology are: (1) enhance body tolerance to extreme flight factors and (2) natural response to medications during the simulation of some space-flight stresses.
