This unit progresses and applies the underlying biochemistry, pharmacodynamics, pharmacokinetics and toxicology of drugs and how they impact on the physiology of living systems. Students will learn how changes in pharmacokinetics through the lifecycle can impact on drug action.
1. Demonstrate an intermediate understanding of the mechanism of action for drugs targeting disease;
2. Distinguish between mechanism of action for desired physiological effects and mechanism of toxicity for commonly used drugs; and
3. Differentiate changes in pharmacokinetics for patients at different stages of life.
1. UC graduates are professional - display initiative and drive, and use their organisation skills to plan and manage their workload
1. UC graduates are professional - employ up-to-date and relevant knowledge and skills
1. UC graduates are professional - use creativity, critical thinking, analysis and research skills to solve theoretical and real-world problems
