Scope: This subject is intended to impart the fundamental knowledge on various aspects
(classification, mechanism of action, therapeutic effects, clinical uses, side effects and
contraindications) of drugs acting on respiratory and gastrointestinal system, infectious
diseases, immuno-pharmacology and in addition,emphasis on the principles of
toxicology and chronopharmacology.
