Type of Assessment
Oral examination. Every year there are 5 exam sections plus 2 during the possible periods of ‘didactical silence' in November and April.
Course program
Pre-clinical and Clinical trial of drugs: Phases of clinical trial.
Pharmacokinetic: transfer of drugs across biological membranes; administration routs of drugs; distribution of drugs in body; metabolism of drugs; excretion of drugs. Pharmaco-dynamic: actions of drugs not mediated by receptors; actions of drugs on enzymatic systems; actions of drugs mediated by receptors; actions of drugs on carriers; actions of drugs on ion channels. Desensitization of receptors. Tolerance. Physical dependence. Withdrawal syndrome. Tachyphylaxis. Idiosyncratic and Allergic reactions. Drug-drug interactions and Drug-food interactions
