Course objectives
At the end of the course students are able to understand main pharmacological mechanisms of drug actions leading to therapeutic, adverse and toxic effects of drugs and eventually their combinations. Student knows basic pharmacokinetic processes and parameter used in mathematical description of them and can draw basic pharmacokinetic graphs. He can give examples of pharmacokinetic interactions. Student knows where to look for information about drugs and can work with information materials of drug preparations in internet databases. Student knows basic legislative norms relevant to prescription and use of medicinal preparations.
