- General pharmacotherapy: therapeutic index; Tolerance and drug dependence; side effects; Drugs interactions; Clinical evaluation of drugs: placebo effect, clinical trials.
- Systematic description of pharmacological targets at the molecular level and their implications in various pathophysiological processes
The teaching is essentially based on the exploration of a large number of notions specific to pharmacology. Beyond a descriptive theoretical course, the notions are developed through concrete examples.
