Learning outcomes
General objectives of the course concern the acquisition of knowledge related to:
Operational definitions, classification of drugs, Pharmacokinetics, Pharmacodynamics, clinical trials and hints of pharmacotoxicology and pharmacovigilance. The properties of some classes of drugs of interest in the professional field will also be illustrated.
Specific goals
The student understands the meaning of drug interaction, the basics of the generation of therapeutic and undesirable effects; knows the functional differences of the different preparations of a drug, the main pharmacokinetic concepts and the implications for the therapeutic plan with reference to some classes of drugs of general interest.
Program
Pharmacokinetics: drug definition, classifications, pharmaceutical formulations, generic drugs versus specialty drugs. Absorption: classification of drug administration routes, functional differences, advantages, limitations, contraindications, kinetic differences, concept of bioavailability
Distribution of drugs: apparent volume of distribution, equilibrium flows and times, binding to plasma proteins and tissues.
Drug metabolism: phase I and II reactions, CYP, drug induction, pharmacogenomics
Elimination of drugs: Clearance, half-life, changes induced by age, drugs, pathologies; balance of administration and relative kinetics
Pharmacodynamics: definition of receptor and classification of receptors; drug-receptor interaction, concepts of affinity, efficacy, agonism-antagonism. Cellular basis of the generation of effects, concepts of toxicity, adverse reactions, undesirable effects
Operational definitions: effective dose, lethal dose, toxic dose, therapeutic window
Identification of active ingredients and clinical trials of drugs in the different phases. Pharmacovigilance, adverse reactions and their reporting.
The inflammatory process, arachidonic acid and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.
Pharmacokinetic outline of contrast media and their ADRs.
Examination Methods
