Learning objectives
General aims:
Provide to students the basic knowledge necessary to understand the mechanisms of action(s) of the drugs and predict and manage their therapeutic and toxic effecs
Specific aims:
Goal of this module is to provide the student with the scientific knowledge required to:
• Understand the mechanisms of action of drugs responsible of their beneficial and adverse effects,
• Learn how clinical evaluation is applied to the study and industrial development of drugs,
• Know the rules governing drug-cell interaction and pharmacokinetics.
• Understand the rules of a rational approach to therapy
• Know the effects and the clinical use of the classes of drugs relevant in the specific professional context including antiinflammatory drugs, drugs used for control of infections; analgesics in odontoiatry, antiplatelelet and anticoagulants, and local anesthetics.
Program
Introduction to pharmacology, drug definition, classification, origin. Principles of Pharmacokinetics: absorption; kinetic differences due to the route of administration; role of the pharmaceutical formulation; bioavailability and factors that modify it; distribution to tissues and factors that modify it; concept of volume of distribution; barriers Metabolism and drug elimination: concepts of clearance and half-life; pathways of elimination and metabolization of drugs; equilibrium kinetics and factors that modify them; individualization and calculation of the dose and corrections to be made in pathological conditions. Pharmacodynamics: drug-receptor interactions, concepts and definitions relating to binding and generation of effects, operational definitions with analyzes of efficacy, potency and adverse reactions Drug discovery and development, clinical studies and postmarketing monitoring Special pharmacology: Non-inflammatory drugs steroids: mechanisms of action and pharmacological classes Pharmacological control of pain: paracetamol, local anesthetics and opiates Principles of action of antibiotic drugs Antiplatelet and anticoagulant drugs.
