Annotation
Pharmacology II is a continuation of the pharmacology teaching in Dentistry students. Teaching is focused on special pharmacology of individual organ systems.
Particularly, it is relevant to drugs affecting autonomic nervous system, cardiovascular system, haemostasis, and hormonal regulation. In addition, students will be provided an overview of basic drugs to treat diseases of GIT (with focus on peptic ulcer), respiratory tract (with focus on asthma) and CNS (hypno-sedative drugs, anxiolytics, antidepressants, and antipsychotics).
Students will be thought general aspects of chemotherapy of viral, mycotic, and oncological diseases and basic classes of drugs will be highlighted. Practical teaching is oriented on analysis of the theoretical knowledge in discussion with the responsible teacher and solving of real pharmacotherapeutic situations and cases.
