Annotation -
The subject Clinical Pharmacy I (CP I) focuses on basic knowledge of clinical pharmacy, essential for the follow-up subject of the specialized undergraduate branch of clinical pharmacy called Clinical Pharmacy II (CP II) and for the utilization of knowledge in pharmacy/pharmaceutical care in the subject Pharmaceutical Care II (PC II). The main content of Clinical Pharmacy I subject is to focus on ethiopathogenesis and epidemiology of basic diseases in clinical practice, risk factors including drug causes, diseases manifestations (symptoms, basic diagnostic tests/assessments), complications of untreated diseases, goals of therapy, treatment strategies in various clinical situations (non-pharmacological, pharmacotherapeutic strategies - major indications, contraindications of drug groups/drugs), and repetitive knowledge of class and individual properties of medicines, and new knowledge on drugs risk/benefit in the main clinical situations and absolute and relative contraindications of medications in clinical practice. The subject trains the ability of students to assess at the basic level appropriateness of the indicated drugs/drug regimens and to evaluate the basic rationality of pharmacotherapy (from the point of view of appropriate indications and contraindications of frequently used medications) by taking into account patients´ comorbidities and standard clinical recommendations of evidence based medicine. The subject Clinical Pharmacy I (CPI.) is followed in undergraduate specialized branch of clinical pharmacy by the subject Clinical Pharmacy II (CP II), which deepens knowledge on the principles of individualization of drug schemes in specific groups of patients (eg. in patients suffering from renal and hepatic failure, in geriatric and peadiatric patients etc.), with an emphasis on the use of knowledge from both subjects CP I and CP II in the individualization of drug schemes in clinical practice. Teacher of CPI interactive lectures and seminars is: Prof. Dr. J. Vlček, CSc. (vlcek@faf.cuni.cz), Department of Social and Clinical Pharmacy, Faculty of Pharmacy, Charles University, new campus, e-mail: vlcek@faf.cuni.cz; phone: 00420 739 488 202 Lectures and seminars are held according to actual schedule of the subject Clinical Pharmacy I.-ENGL sent by teacher (prof. Vlček) to students by email. Study materials are sent to students by teacher as well. Updates of instructions, materials or changes in the teaching hours are sent to students before lectures and seminars.

Is any particular medicine missed in the drug scheme? Why?

Would you recommend to stop some medicines? Why?

Subject aims

The subject of Clinical Pharmacy I. (CP I.) is aimed at gaining basic knowledge and skills in clinical pharmacy, necessary for continuing studies in Clinical Pharmacy II (CP II), the core subject within the pregraduate branch of Clinical pharmacy. This subject (CP I.) creates also an important base for clinically oriented pharmaceutical care in pharmacies, lectured and trained in the subject Pharmaceutical Care II (CP II.).

The content of the subject Clinical pharmacy I. (CP I.) is oriented (for selected nosologic units) to ethiopathogenesis and epidemiology of disorders, risk factors (including drug-related risk factors), complications (when disease is untreated or inappropriately treated/managed), to clinical manifestation of disorders (symptomatology and basic diagnostic tests), diagnosis – 5 questions of diagnostics –(1/does a patient suffer with disease; 2/ what is the severity of disease, 3/ risk factors of disease are present?; 4/risk factors of complications of disease are present?; 5/ is there a probability to reach the goal?), aims of therapy (with the emphasis on aims of pharmacotherapy), main treatment strategies (including both pharmacological and nonpharmacological strategies of acute and chronic stage of disease), frequently indicated drug schemes and other treatment modalities. Knowledge about class effect of drugs, their main mechanism of action, efficacy, clinical indications and contraindications are also lectured and trained.

Clinical pharmacy I. educates students in main principles of the evaluation of appropriate drug indications, contraindications and in the basic rationality of drug regimen. Knowledge in CP I. are focused mainly on appropriateness of clinical indications and contraindications of frequently used drugs in patients with selected comorbidities and other clinical characteristics and on standard clinical recommendations. CP I. is a prerecvisity for the subject Clinical Pharmacy II (CP II) which further broaden students´ knowledge in principles of individualization of drug schemes for specific patient populations/groups and in individualization of drug regimens in concrete patient cases.
