Learning outcomes

The aim of general part is to explain the students how drugs can effect patient’s health, without forgetting that drugs have both therapeutic, but also toxic effects. Furthermore, students should get a good knowledge of the interaction between drug and human organism, with particular reference to pharmacokinetics and pharmacodinamics. Overall objective of clinic part is to explain the students the main characteristics (mechanisms of action, pharmacokinetics, therapeutic use, adverse drug reactions, interactions) of the different pharmacological classes.
