About Study Course
Objective
• To promote the acquisition of knowledge about the main groups of drugs, their chemical structure and properties, the profile of the associated effect and side effects. • To promote skills of analysis and interpretation of the purpose of therapeutic action of medicinal substances. • To promote understanding of the influence of chemical structure on the mechanism of drug substance interaction, the importance of proper use.
Preliminary Knowledge
Pharmaceutical chemistry, qualitative and quantitative analysis, organic and inorganic chemistry, pharmacology, physics, mathematics.
Learning Outcomes
Knowledge
1.On successful acquisition of the course the students will be able to: • will be able to evaluate the therapeutic activity of medicinal substances depending on the chemical structure, physico-chemical properties of the substance; • will be able to compare medicinal substances within one therapeutic group; • will be able to demonstrate knowledge of the predicted mechanism and incidence of adverse drug reactions; • will be able to assess the effect of non-medicinal factors on the therapeutic effect.
Skills
1.On successful acquisition of the course the students will be able to: • to compile and systematize the current information regarding the medicinal products reviewed in the study course, their characteristics, properties, use in medicine; • to create presentations and research projects on medicinal substances, compiling the most up-to-date information from the SPCs and clinical trials published in recent years.
Competences
1.On successful completion of the study course, as a result of successful acquisition of the study course, students will be able to evaluate medicinal substances within one therapeutic group of medicinal products depending on the possibility of side effects and pharmacological effect; will be able to develop theoretical and practical analysis projects, interpret the obtained data in accordance with the specifics of the research topic.
