Enhance your pharmacology knowledge with this comprehensive free online course covering essential topics like autonomic nervous system, cancer drugs, antiepileptics, and more.
Welcome to "Pharmacology," an extensive course designed to provide in-depth knowledge and understanding of various key areas within the field of pharmacology. With a total duration of 5 hours and 57 minutes, this course is ideal for those in the health sector, particularly focusing on pharmacology.
The course delves into the intricacies of the Autonomic Nervous System, covering topics such as pharmacology, receptors, and physiology. You will gain an understanding of how drugs interact with this critical system within the body.
Parkinson's disease and its pharmacological treatments will be investigated, providing insights into the therapeutic strategies used to manage this condition. Similarly, the course also explores the pharmacology of mood stabilizers, essential for treating various psychiatric conditions.
Antiviral pharmacology is another crucial topic covered, addressing the drugs used to combat viral infections. Additionally, the course offers a comprehensive look into major depression and the role of SSRIs and SNRIs in its management.
The section on antifungals will guide you through the medications used to treat fungal infections. You'll also learn about cephalosporins, a class of antibiotics vital for treating bacterial infections.
Understanding cancer drugs is paramount for those involved in oncology, and this course provides a grounded understanding of the pharmacological agents used in cancer therapy. Antiarrhythmic pharmacology is also examined, illustrating the drugs used to manage heart rhythm disorders.
For those interested in neurological conditions, the course includes a segment on antiepileptics and seizure pharmacology, detailing the drugs that help control epileptic episodes. The P450 Enzyme System is covered extensively, with a focus on inducers and inhibitors.
A segment dedicated to the highest yield drugs for USMLE helps prepare students for this significant medical exam. High yield associations related to alcohol, along with pharmacology and pathology, are also explored.
Blood pressure tracings are simplified in this course, making it easier to understand this critical aspect of patient assessment. The course also covers diabetes drugs, specifically oral antihyperglycemics, as well as lipid-lowering agents or cholesterol drugs.
HIV medications and drugs form an integral part of the course, shedding light on the pharmacological treatments available for managing HIV. Additionally, foundational concepts of pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics are thoroughly explained, providing a solid understanding of how drugs interact with the body.
This comprehensive course ensures a well-rounded education in pharmacology, making it an invaluable resource for health professionals keen on enhancing their pharmacological knowledge.
