Learning Outcomes
After completing the course, the students will be able to understand the basic concepts of 1) pharmacokinetics - to the extent that they are able to perform simple pharmacokinetic calculations (e.g., loading dose, maintenance dose) and can estimate the probability of drug-drug interactions, 2) pharmacodynamics, so that they understand the concept of agonism and antagonism, as well as the relation between mechanism of action, efficacy, toxicity, clinical utility, indications, contra-indications, adverse reactions, and pharmacodynamic drug-drug interactions, and 3) the basic properties (pharmacokinetics, mechanism of action, indications, adverse effects, contraindications) of drugs acting on the parasympathetic, sympathetic and central nervous system, so that they can understand better their clinical utility in future courses and administer them safely in clinical praxis.
General Competences
- Apply knowledge in practice
- Retrieve, analyse and synthesise data and information, with the use of necessary technologies
- Adapt to new situations
- Make decisions
- Work autonomously
- Work in teams
- Work in an international context
- Work in an interdisciplinary team
- Generate new research ideas
- Design and manage projects

- Respect natural environment
- Demonstrate social, professional and ethical commitment and sensitivity to gender issues
- Be critical and self-critical
- Advance free, creative and causative thinking
Course Content (Syllabus)
