Reqirements: The semester is closed with the final exam. The exams are oral. The required topics are dealt with during the three courses of Pharmacodynamics, including both lectures and practice classes.The criterion of admission to the exam is the successful completion of the practice carried out in paralell (midsemester grade with the result different from failed).

Exam questions:

1. Basic mechanisms of drug actions (examples of drug effects on receptors, ion channels, enzymes, carrier systems and effects mediated by physicochemical interactions)

2. Characterization of agonist-receptor interaction: occupancy, affinity, dose-response curve, potency, efficacy

3. Significance of signal transduction mechanisms in the effects of drugs. Tachyphylaxis and tolerance to drugs

4. Mechanisms of drug antagonisms

5. Transport of drugs across membranes

7. Plasma protein binding and tissue distribution of drugs

8. Biotransformation of drugs

9. Excretion of drugs

10. Quantitative pharmacokinetics: zero and first order elimination, volume of distribution, clearance, elimination half-life, oral bioavailability, calculation of loading and maintenance doses, non-linear pharmacokinetics
