Pharmacology

Strong Academic Foundation:

• Comprehensive coverage of human anatomy, physiology, and pathophysiology.
• In-depth study of mechanisms of drug action, therapeutic uses, and adverse effects.
• Curriculum aligned with PCI guidelines to build solid pharmacological knowledge.

Experimental Pharmacology:

• Practical training in in vitro and in vivo experimental techniques.

• Study of drug effects using:
  • Isolated tissue experiments (using models like frog rectus abdominis, guinea pig ileum)
  • Simulated software-based models (ethical alternative to animal experiments)

Clinical and Molecular Pharmacology:

• Focus on clinical drug evaluation, therapeutic drug monitoring, and adverse drug reaction reporting.
• Introduction to molecular mechanisms, signal transduction pathways, and pharmacogenetics.

Equipped with:

• Study of drug effects using:
  • Digital rotarod, actophotometer, analgesiometer, spirometer
  • Simulation software for computer-assisted learning (CAL)
  • Facilities for dose-response studies, toxicity evaluation, and receptor activity screening

Focused student projects on:

• Study of drug effects using:
  • Herbal drug evaluation
  • Neuropharmacology and cardiovascular pharmacology
  • Anti-inflammatory and analgesic screening
• Regular publications, presentations, and seminar participation

Clinical Orientation and Ethics:

• Training in clinical trial phases, GCP (Good Clinical Practice), and bioethics.
• Case study analysis and pharmacovigilance awareness programs.
• Understanding of rational drug use, prescription auditing, and drug interaction studies.

Student Enrichment Activities:

• Guest lectures by medical professionals and pharmacologists.
• Workshops and model display on drug mechanisms.
• Encouraging participation in competitions, conferences, and research expos.
