PPR 6650 Clinical Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacogenomics
Lecture: 3 Lab: 0 Practica: 0 Total Credits: 3
This course is designed to enable students to critically apply knowledge from basic pharmaceutical sciences, mathematical modeling, and pharmacotherapy courses at higher level of sophistication in order to optimize drug therapy for individual patients and diverse populations. The focus of this course is on initiating and adjusting individualized drug dosage regimen for selected medications based on targeted and measured drug plasma levels, patient’s demographics, organ function, concomitant medications and disease states, pharmacogenetics, and overall patient’s response to drug therapy. Altered drug disposition in special patient populations such as pediatrics, geriatrics, obesity, and those with renal or hepatic dysfunction is also addressed.
