Course objectives
The aim of the course is to understand mechanisms of xenobiotic (including drugs) effects and under which conditions they and their combinations may elicit therapeutic, adverse, and toxic effects, and what is the relation to the dose given, administration route, status of the organism (differences in pediatrics and geriatrics).
Students should acquire the ability to understand the principles of "Good Clinical Practice" in the development of new drugs and the duties of physicians in contact with the pharmaceutical industry and the principles of pharmacovigilance. To learn to differentiate selected drug classes and pharmacological profiles of representative drugs from groups of drugs selected in the curriculum and the profiles of adverse reactions of their main representatives, with special regard to possible drug interactions.
Learning outcomes
At the end of the course student should be able to understand mechanisms of xenobiotic (including drugs) effects and under which conditions they and their combinations may elicit therapeutic, adverse, and toxic effects, and what is the relation to the dose given, administration route, status of the organism (differences in pediatrics and geriatrics).
They will be familiar with the requirements of "Good Clinical Practice" for development of new drugs, and duties of physicians in cooperation with the pharmaceutical industry and principles of pharmacovigilance.
They will be able to recognize selected drug classes and pharmacological profiles of representative drugs from groups of drugs selected in the curriculum.

Teaching methods
Curriculum offers attendance at lectures read by teacher of pharmacology.
Assessment methods
During the studying the students have to prove active knowledge of pharmacology acquired. Students have to pass the exam: final written multiple-choice test (30 questions). In the Final Exam students are asked to answer to multiple-choice questions. Only 1 correct answer is possible to each question. Two points is granted for each correctly answered question. The final evaluation respects the results of test from practicals. The points scored above minimal required value are added to the final score of the exam as follows: Final score = score from exam test + X; X = summary score from tests from practicals - 10 (minimal required value).

The summary of the score obtained is evaluated as follows:

mark A = 77-90 points

B = 69-76 points

C = 64-68 points

D = 59-63 points

E = 54-58 points

F = less than 54 points
