Learning Outcomes of UE

At the end of this course, the students will be able to : - classify human toxins based on pre-established criteria - explain the concept of adverse drug reaction - Evaluate the risks specifically associated with human exposure to major classes of therapeutic and non-therapeutic chemicals - identify the chemical group of a toxic substance from clinical signs, symptoms, and syndromes.

Content of UE

1.Adverse drug reactions 2. Toxicity of therapeutic agents: (sedatives/hypnotic, opioids, anticholinergics and neuroleptics, anti-inflammatory drugs, steroids, antineoplasic agents, others) 3. Toxicity of non-therapeutic agents: (Alcohols and aldehydes, gas, metals, aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons, insecticides, herbicides, others)
