      ConditionEnrolled semester in which the subject is attended.
      The goalWell-known mechanisms of action of the drugs of all pharmacodynamic groups used in veterinary medicine. Make clear and understandable differences in the mechanisms of the therapeutic and side effects of drugs, as well as differences in the mechanisms that exert a antagonisitic or synergistic drug interactions.
      The outcomeAs a result of the course, the student must know the basic principles of the mechanisms by which drugs of different pharmacodynamic groups act. Student should understand the mechanisms of action of drugs and use this knowledge in further scientific work with drugs.
