You will analyze effects of drug actions on the major body systems, including mechanisms of therapeutic actions and adverse drug effects, problems involving drug interactions, and variables that modify drugs’ effects. Many of the most frequently used drugs in neurology and cardiovascular treatment will be discussed.-musculoskeletal disorders.
