At the end of this course, the student should be familiar with the different pharmacological classes, their therapeutic effects and adverse effects. A part of the course will be devoted to pharmacokinetics and dosage adjustment in special populations. A series of relevant molecules to know from a pharmacological point of view and of current use will also be mastered.
The objective of this course is to master the different pharmacological classes and their interest in the management of certain pathologies. The link with other courses of the pharmaceutical curriculum will be frequently mentioned, the goal being to make understand pharmacology as the science of the drug and its interaction with the physiopathological processes in humans. Particular emphasis will be given to the integration of the notion of inter-individual variability and its causes (drug interactions, co-morbidities, age, pregnancy, etc.). A list of drugs acting on different physiological and/or biochemical systems will also be mastered. The objective is that the student masters the specialities that will be part of their daily life in their future professional activity.
After an introductory section on the rational use of drugs and dosage adjustment, the main physiological systems and pharmacological classes will be discussed: - Cardiovascular system - Blood and coagulation - Gastrointestinal system - Respiratory system - Hormonal system - Gynaecology and obstetrics - Urogenital system - Pain and fever - Osteoarticular pathologies - Nervous system - Infections - Immunity - Anti-tumour drugs - Dermatology - Ophthalmology - Ear, Nose and Throat - Anaesthesia.
