Description

PLEASE NOTE: This course has had a change of code - up to and including 2009 it was PHPH3251.
This subject deals with the pharmacology of different drug classes, with an emphasis on
the mode of drug action. Effects of drugs on the major organ systems will be covered, including the cardiovascular, renal, endocrine, respiratory gastrointestinal and central nervous systems. Students will be introduced to emerging therapeutic strategies based on advances in understanding cellular physiology and drug action. The practicals will cover basic pharmacological methods from both clinical and experimental standpoints.

Note: Enrolment in this course may be subject to quota restrictions. Such restrictions will only apply to students taking this course as an elective.
