B.Pharmacy Pharmacology I
Understand how drugs interact with the body—from pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics to autonomic and central nervous system pharmacology, therapeutic applications, adverse effects, and drug interactions.
Build a strong foundation in Pharmacology by learning how drugs are absorbed, distributed, metabolized, and eliminated, how they produce therapeutic effects, and how they act on the peripheral and central nervous systems. The subject also introduces drug discovery, clinical trials, pharmacovigilance, and major CNS and ANS drug classes.
