Topic

The aim of the course is to present those fields of pharmacology that are not covered at all or only partially discussed in the compulsory courses Pharmacology 1-2-3 because of time limits. These are the following: use of drugs during pregnancy and lactation; significance of pharmacogenomics in therapy and drug development, pharmacology of retinoids; use of meta-analysis in evaluation of drugs, clinical significance of basic pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic parameters; special aspects of drugs used by inhalation, pharmacology of contrast media, drugs and chirality. The course wishes to contribute to a better understanding of the use of drugs in the clinical practice and may help students prepare for the pharmacology exams.
