Interdisciplinary Sciences IIIModule FARMACOLOGIA
Academic Year 2024/2025 - Teacher: Mariangela CHISARIExpected Learning Outcomes
Students will learn basic knowledge of Pharmacology, including principles of Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics, Pharmacovigilance, the appearance of adverse reactions and interactions between drugs in order to allow the understanding of the action of some classes of most frequently used drugs
Course Structure
Traditional classes. Students are invited to actively participate with questions and comments on discussed topics.
If the teaching is given in a mixed or remote mode, necessary changes may be introduced in order to fullfill all statements in the Syllabus.
Required Prerequisites
