Tematika

The general aim of the subject is to provide the dentistry students with all the basic information in pharmacology necessary to understand the actions of drugs and the clinical pharmacotherapy. 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. Local anaesthetics.

Antimicrobial chemotherapy. Drugs affecting haemostasis, haematopoesis and hyperlipoproteinaemias. Pharmacology of histamine.
