About this course
Learning outcome
Veterinary pharmacology and toxicology includes basic pharmacologic principles relevant for all categories of drugs as well as teaching about specific groups of drugssuch as antimicrobials antiparasitic drugs, anti-inflammatory drugs etc. In veterinary toxicology we introduce basic toxicologic principles and go through some commonly seen intoxications and how to treat them. The students must also know different preparations, routes of administration, the correct handling of drugs and the legislation guiding the correct use of drugs to non-human animals.
In environmental toxicology we use toxicological principles to look closer at how environmental toxins can spread through the food chain. We also touch upon risk assessment.
