Yohimbine pharmacology
People not trained in the medical professions usually have the impression that, with thousands of medications stocked at a well-sorted pharmacy, we have the power to interfere with human physiology in thousands of ways, each specific to a certain medication.
But this impression is wrong. The scope of what can be achieved with medications in general is much narrower than commonly believed.
There are a few well-established fields in which we can achieve a physiological effect through pharmacological means, and these windows of therapy are widely exploited for the treatment of a wide range of conditions, and with dozens or hundreds of medications that all have a basically similar effect.
