Tematika

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. Definitions, prescription writing, drug development, drug formulations. General aspects of mechanisms of drug actions: characterization of drug-receptor interactions, mechanisms of drug antagonism, signal transduction mechanisms of drug receptors. General and quantitative aspects of pharmacokinetics: absorption, distribution and elimination of drugs. Pharmacology of the autonomic nervous system and the respiratory system.

17. Agents acting on the biosynthesis, storage, release and elimination of catecholamines
18. Adrenergic receptor agonists
19. Adrenergic receptor antagonists
20. Pharmacology of protein and peptide mediators, the purinergic system and nitric oxide
21. Local anesthetics
22. Histamine, antihistaminic drugs
23. Pharmacology of eicosanoids. Drugs acting on smooth muscle
24. Drugs used to treat bronchial asthma
25. Drug treatment of allergic rhinitis. Antitussives, expectorants and mucolytics

The A exam is written, B and C exams are oral. For those who do not attend the A exam, the B exam is written. The written exam is composed of multiple choice questions from the lecture and seminar material. In order to pass, the student must have a performance over 60% regarding both subgroups of questions (lecture material and seminar material).

Upon the oral exam, 2 exam topics are chosen. In addition to these exam topics, important parts of the exam are the questions that aim at assessing the general knowledge of the student. Bad performance in this part of the exam may lead to failure regardless of the answers to exam topics.
