The aim of the course is to show the rules of rational pharmacotherapy, benefits and risks of pharmacotherapy. Students are taught how to verify the sources of knowledge about drugs and critical review of medical papers. After the pharmacology course students should know general terms from pharmacodynamics, pharmacokinetics and pharmacoeconomics, should also know basis for drugs action, and are able to characterize groups of drugs, their pharmacological effects, pharmacokinetics, indications and contraindications, adverse effects, interactions and basic dosage regiments. Student should also know how to calculate proper doses and prescribe simple prescriptions or orders to the nurses.

Student is able to verify the dose of drug depending on the function of main organs and prescribe it on the prescription form. Student could also asses the toxicity of various substances in regard to patient s age or health. Methods for verifying achievement of intended educational results * oral or written examinations oral answers, tests, presentations, colloquium, prescriptions *e.g.. test, presentation, oral response, essay, report, colloquium, oral examination, written examination; ** L- lecture; S- seminar; C- class; EL- e-learning; Student work input (balance of ECTS points) Lessons on-site (hrs.) 150 Own work (hrs.) 67,5 Summary of student workload 217,5 ECTS points for subject 10,5 Remarks L C
