HSC 2800 - Pharmacology

Prerequisite(s): HSC 2010; HSC 2020; CH 1000 or CH 1220.
Pharmacology provides an introductory study into pharmacological approaches to treating illness, injury, and disease. The principles of pharmacokinetics, such as the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion of pharmacological agents through human physiology, are examined. In addition, the pharmacodynamics of pharmacological agents will be explored. This course is intended to introduce the student to physiologically-tailored medicine design and delivery and also to explain how medicine dosage is important to achieve specific physiological responses, in particular, to human health and prevention of illness and disease. This course focuses on pharmacological agents and their impact on human physiology. Credit(s): 3
