- to introduce several drug groups building on the knowledge of general pharmacological principles.

Learning outcomes

On completion of the course, the student will be able to:
- describe and explain general mechanisms of drug action and their processing in the organism,
- characterize different routes of drug administration,
- describe, what could influence an effect of a drug,
- describe the process of research and development of a new therapeutic agent from the beginning to the entering to the clinical practice,
- classify both therapeutic, and adverse or toxic effects of drugs,
- characterize specific drug groups mentioned in the course syllabus with the emphasis on therapeutic and adverse effect and possible drug interactions.
