EXPECTED  OUTCOME

The Learner should be able to:

1. describe the basic principles of  pharmacology include pharmacokinetics (absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion ) and pharmacodynamics (quantitative and qualitative aspects of drug action )  
2. describe the adverse drug reactions and the basic principles of toxicology of drugs
3. describe the simple experiments to illustrate the principles of pharmacology and to interpret results from theses experiments

FUTURE PLAN

Same as current course.
