and pharmacokinetic theory. It will provide insight into the mechanisms by which drugs cause both positive and negative effects and explore aspects of drug metabolism and
elimination.
"Using examples of commonly used drugs (both therapeutic and illicit), we will explore what drugs do to the human body and in turn, what the body does to drugs. Recommended for students with an interest in pursuing medical science degrees and programs."
