B Pharm Pharmacology 2 Pdf Notes
Ah,B Pharm Pharmacology 2 Pdf Notes – the course where drugs become your new best friends, or at least frenemies you kinda need to understand to pass. Buckle up, last-benchers, because we're about to dive into the wild world of chemicals that mess with your mind, mend your bod, and maybe even make you dance (if you take the wrong ones on an empty stomach). We'll be dissecting diuretics like they're gossip girls, befriending beta-blockers like they're the cool kids who actually let you copy their homework, and maybe even learn why grandma's herbal tea suddenly gave her the superpower of spontaneous tap dancing. This ain't no sleepy snoozefest, it's a last-bench laboratory of laughter, learning, and maybe a little bit of liver toxicity (don't worry, we'll cover that too).Â
Scope:
This subject is intended to impart the fundamental knowledge on various aspects (classification, mechanism of action, therapeutic effects, clinical uses, side effects and contraindications) of drugs acting on different systems of body and in addition,emphasis on the basic concepts of bioassay.
Objectives: Upon completion of the subject student shall be able to:
Understand the mechanism of drug action and its relevance in the treatment of different diseases
Demonstrate isolation of different organs/tissues from the laboratory animals by simulated experiments
Demonstrate the various receptor actions using isolated tissue preparation
Appreciate correlation of pharmacology with related medical sciences
