The aim of this course is to enable students to acquire basic knowledge about the mechanisms of action, uses, and side effects of drugs, and to learn the fundamental principles of safe and correct drug use.
This course examines the fundamental concepts of pharmacology, including the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion processes of drugs in the body. It also covers the mechanisms of action, drug interactions, side effects, and drug safety. The course covers key drug groups such as analgesics, antibiotics, cardiovascular drugs, and central nervous system drugs; and evaluates the principles of safe drug use that should be considered in home care settings.
