GHHE 000/5342 - Case Studies in Pharmaceutical Toxicology (3 cr.)


Prerequisites
Permission of Instructor.

Description
Following an overview of toxicological principles, the adverse effects of drugs and their interactions with other drugs and/or food, or therapeutic modification by pre-existing pathology are demonstrated through interactive case studies culled from actual clinical experiences. These include near-missed tragedies, erroneous prescriptions, therapy-induced pathologies, pesticides and persistent organic chemicals masquerading as therapeutics, and industrial chemicals masquerading as hormones. This draws on the students’ knowledge of physiology, pathophysiology and toxicodynamics.
