Course objectives
The aim of the subject is to offer the basic pharmacological knowledge about specific drug groups used in selected diseases. Emphasis is given to the pharmacological theoretical knowledge about the main antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic and anti-glaucoma drugs used in ophthalmology, so that the student was able to search independently for relevant information on drugs in reliable sources, including the therapeutic and adverse drug effects and potential drug-drug interactions.
Learning outcomes
At the end of the course students will know the basic pharmacological principles and factors influencing drug actions. The student will be able to work with the valid drug information resources. The student will have the basic knowledge about drugs and medications to treat allergic reactions (antihistamine drugs, glucocorticoids and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) with the main focus on drugs used in ophthalmology.
