Synopsis: Principles underlying the actions of drugs which, when integrated with teaching in other subjects, provide the background for the prescription of drugs with full appreciation of their mechanisms of action (pharmacodynamics), the way in which the body handles them (pharmacokinetics), their use in the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of disease (therapeutics) and minimisation of adverse drug actions and interactions (toxicology). Representative drugs of established classes are dealt with to provide a background for further learning.
