Course objectives
Pharmacology is a science that studies interactions of medical substances and organisms on various morphological and physiological levels. It focuses on mechanisms and time progress of medicines in organisms (pharmacokinetics), and on medicines impact mechanisms on an organism (pharmacodynamics). Certain toxicology sections (science on toxins) constitute a part of the pharmacology in the area of undesirable effects as well.

Learning outcomes
After completing the course the student is able to clarify the basic general rules regarding the fate of the drug in the body and the mechanisms of the drug's effect on the human body. Student can also define and characterize the properties of specific drugs - mechanisms of action, pharmacological effects, pharmacokinetic properties, side effects and interactions. The student will be able to apply the acquired knowledge about the properties of drugs in a safe and effective pharmacotherapy.
