To explain by using relevant examples how drugs affect physiological and pathological processes in mammals and how their actions can be efficacious in more than one condition. The related aspect of drug selectivity and drug interactions will be also taught as well as demonstrated how knowledge of drug pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics is used to design appropriate dosing schedules

To explain and demonstrate, using selected examples, how knowledge of physiology and pathophysiology leads to the identification of targets and their druggability, how molecular events can lead to selectivity of drugs, avoid toxicity and deliver improved safety and efficacy.

To explain and demonstrate the principles of how drugs act in the body (pharmacodynamics), how the body acts on drugs (pharmacokinetics) and the origin of unwanted effects (adverse drug reactions and drug toxicity). Along with this, fundamental terminology, interaction and relationship between agonists/antagonists and their target molecules will be also discerned.
