Thematik

The general aim of the subject is to provide the medical students with all the basic information in pharmacology necessary to understand the actions of drugs and the clinical pharmacotherapy and to pass the Foreign Medical Graduate Examination in Medical Sciences. Pharmacology can be defined as the study of the manner in which the function of living systems is affected by chemical agents. Therefore, the students should be familiar with the basic knowledge of the physiological, pathophysiological and biochemical background of the pharmacological and therapeutic approaches. On the other hand, drug therapy is closely related to the clinical aspects of diseases.
The following topics will be dealt with. Pharmacology of the endocrine system: pituitary hormones, corticosteroids, reproductive system, thyroid hormones, antithyroid drugs, insulin, glucagon and oral hypoglycemic agents, vitamin D, treatment of osteoporosis. Chemotherapy: sulphonamides and trimethoprim, fluoroquinolones, beta-lactam antibiotics, tetracyclines, chloramphenicol, macrolide antibiotics, clindamycin, vancomycin, polymyxins, aminoglycosides, antituberculotics, treatment of leprosy. Antifungal drugs, antiviral agents, antiprotozoal drugs, antihelminthic agents, antiseptics and disinfectants. Pharmacogenetics, effects of age, diet and diseases on drug action. Drug interactions. Basics of toxicology.
