Annotation -
The Veterinary drugs course is a continuation of the subject Pharmacology I and II. It is intended to introduce pharmacy students to the fundamental issues and specifics of veterinary drugs and their administration to the animals. The course is divided into a general and a special part. The general part focuses on selected legislation, specific veterinary dosage forms, health and hygiene issues of veterinary drug administration, and the basics of veterinary toxicology. The general part will also present essential sources of information specific to veterinary medicines. The special section will emphasize the therapy of the most common diseases of the dog and cat, focusing on drugs that students may encounter during their pharmacy practice. Teaching is performed in the form of lectures.
