Course introduction
To give the students a thorough understanding of the fundamental principles of the effect of drugs on the human organism (pharmacodynamics) and the fundamental principles of the influence of the human organism on drugs (pharmacokinetics). The teaching in special pharmacology has the aim to give the students a thorough knowledge of the chemical signal transduction between cells abd tissues and the influence of drugs to this, and to give the students knowledge of effects on the various organs from interactions with receptors, enzymes and ion transport mechanisms.
