REHSCI 1265 - PHARMACOLOGY IN REHABILITATION

Minimum Credits: 3
Maximum Credits: 3
This course serves as a foundation to general pharmacology, and begins with lectures on the general principles affecting drug response: drug absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion. The major drug categories will then be discussed, with an emphasis on drug classification, mechanism of action, side effects (especially those that are predictable), and significant drug interactions. At the completion of this course, the student will be able to recognize and describe the action of prototype drugs in each major drug category, compare and contrast their action with other drugs in each category, and explain the role of those drugs in the mitigation, treatment, cure or prevention of disease in humans.
