GENERAL AND DENTAL PHARMACOLOGY
AND THERAPEUTICS |
| |
|
|
| |
GOAL: |
| |
|
The broad goal of teaching under
graduate students in pharmacology is to
inculcate rational and scientific basis of
therapeutics keeping in view of dental
curriculum and Profession. |
| |
OBJECTIVES : |
| |
|
At the end of the course the student shall be
able to: |
| |
1. |
Describe the pharmacokinetics
and pharmacodynamics of essential and commonly
used drugs in general and in dentistry in
particular. |
| |
2. |
List the indications,
contraindications; interactions, and adverse
reactions of commonly used drugs with reason. |
| |
3. |
Tailor the use of appropriate
drugs in disease with consideration to its cost,
efficacy, safety for individual and mass therapy
needs. |
| |
4. |
Indicate special care in
prescribing common and essential drugs in
special medical situations such as pregnancy,
lactation, old age, renal, hepatic damage and
immuno compromised patients. |
| |
5. |
Integrate the rational drug therapy in clinical
pharmacology. |
| |
6. |
Indicate the principles underlying the concepts
of “Essential drugs”. |
| |
|
|
| |
|
SKILLS |
| |
|
At the end of the course the student shall be
able to: |
| |
1. |
Prescribe drugs for common dental and medical
ailments. |
| |
2. |
To appreciate adverse
reactions and drug interactions of commonly used
drugs. |
| |
3. |
Observe experiments designed for study of
effects of drugs. |
| |
4. |
Critically evaluate drug
formulations and be able to interpret the
clinical pharmacology of marketed preparations
commonly used in dentistry. |
| |
5. |
INTEGRATION: Practical
knowledge of use of drugs in clinical practice
will be acquired through integrated teaching
with clinical departments. |
| |
