Annotation

Pharmacology is a preclinical subject, in which students acquire knowledge of basic principles of pharmacodynamics, pharmacokinetics and mechanism of action of individual drugs.
Rational pharmacotherapy taught during seminars focuses on suitable individual drug choice for each patient and avoiding drug interaction or adverse effects. Students also get familiar with the fundamentals of drug prescription in a theoretical and practical way.
