Annotation
Teaching in the 4th year continues in the form of lectures and 2 blocks (seminars) on pharmacology I.
In special pharmacology, in addition to the basic characteristics of individual drug groups, emphasis is placed on the treatment of individual nosological units and the rational use of drugs in compliance with generally valid legal and professional regulations (e.g. recommended treatment procedures of professional societies). An integral part of the teaching of pharmacology is the knowledge and skill of prescribing drugs, both mass-produced medicinal products and individually prepared ones.
