Learning Outcomes of UE

At the end of the course, students will know the basic principles that link the dose and the effect of a drug. In particular, they will master the principles of pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and the therapeutic use of drugs. In addition, they will be able to put into practice the quantitative analysis of these phenomenons.

Content of UE

<u>Pharmacokinetics</u>: Absorption; Distribution; Metabolism; Excretion; non-, one- or multi-compartmental kinetics
<u>Pharmacodynamics</u>: drug classification; stereospecificity; dose - response relationship; agonism – antagonism; selectivity; receptor; receptor sparing and reserve
<u>Other:</u> response variability; drug interaction; placebo; tolerance, dependence; drug development
