Course objectives
Pharmacology is a science that studies interactions of medical substances and organisms on various morphological and physiological levels. It focuses on mechanisms and time progress of medicines in organisms (pharmacokinetics), and on medicines impact mechanisms on an organism (pharmacodynamics). Certain toxicology sections (science on toxins) constitute a part of the pharmacology in the area of undesirable effects as well.

Course contents:
The course is divided into general pharmacological principles and special pharmacology, i.e. into drug groups classified according to their influence on the functional systems of the organism (pharmacodynamic agents) or according to their anti-infective (antimicrobial, antiparasitic, antiviral, .. .) effects.
Learning outcomes
After completing the course the student is able to define and characterize the properties of specific drugs - mechanisms of action, pharmacological effects, pharmacokinetic properties, side effects and interactions. The student will be able to apply the acquired knowledge about the properties of drugs in a safe and effective pharmacotherapy.
