Pharmacology can also focus on specific systems comprising the body.
Divisions related to bodily systems study the effects of drugs in different systems of the body.
These include neuropharmacology, in the central and peripheral nervous systems; immunopharmacology in the immune system.
Other divisions include cardiovascular, renal and endocrine pharmacology.
Psychopharmacology is the study of the use of drugs that affect the psyche, mind and behavior (e.g. antidepressants) in treating mental disorders (e.g. depression).
It incorporates approaches and techniques from neuropharmacology, animal behavior and behavioral neuroscience, and is interested in the behavioral and neurobiological mechanisms of action of psychoactive drugs.
The related field of neuropsychopharmacology focuses on the effects of drugs at the overlap between the nervous system and the psyche.

Pharmacometabolomics, also known as pharmacometabonomics, is a field which stems from metabolomics, the quantification and analysis of metabolites produced by the body.
It refers to the direct measurement of metabolites in an individual's bodily fluids, in order to predict or evaluate the metabolism of pharmaceutical compounds, and to better understand the pharmacokinetic profile of a drug.
Pharmacometabolomics can be applied to measure metabolite levels following the administration of a drug, in order to monitor the effects of the drug on metabolic pathways.
Pharmacomicrobiomics studies the effect of microbiome variations on drug disposition, action, and toxicity.
Pharmacomicrobiomics is concerned with the interaction between drugs and the gut microbiome.
Pharmacogenomics is the application of genomic technologies to drug discovery and further characterization of drugs related to an organism's entire genome.
For pharmacology regarding individual genes, pharmacogenetics studies how genetic variation gives rise to differing responses to drugs.
Pharmacoepigenetics studies the underlying epigenetic marking patterns that lead to variation in an individual's response to medical treatment.
