CORRESPONDENCE COURSE OF
THE U.S. ARMY MEDICAL DEPARTMENT CENTER AND SCHOOL
SUBCOURSE MD0805 EDITION 200
INTRODUCTION
In Subcourse MD0804, Therapeutics I, the basics of pharmacology were
reviewed. MD0804 stressed the identification and use of references pertaining to drug information. Furthermore, you were given specific information on eight specific categories of drugs.
Subcourse MD0805, Therapeutics II, is intended to give you a review of certain essential anatomical and physiological concepts important to pharmacology and to introduce six categories of drugs. The review of anatomy and physiology should help you gain a better understanding of how the drugs work in the body and how they
produce the side effects that are commonly associated with their use.
Remember that this subcourse is not intended to be used as an authoritative source of drug information. New drugs are being discovered and new uses for existing drugs are being found through research. Therefore, you should rely on this subcourse to review concepts or to learn new information. You should then use other sources (see MD0804, Therapeutics I–lesson 1) to gain additional information which will help you to do your job in a better way.
Subcourse Components:
This subcourse consists of 10 lessons. The lessons are:
Lesson 1. Dermatological Agents.
Lesson 2. The Human Muscular System.
Lesson 3. Skeletal Muscle Relaxants.
Lesson 4. Analgesic, Anti-inflammatory, and Antigout Agents.
Lesson 5. Review of Ocular and Auditory Anatomy and Physiology.
Lesson 6. Review of the Autonomic Nervous System.
Lesson 7. Adrenergic Agents.
Lesson 8. Adrenergic Blocking Agents.
Lesson 9. Cholinergic Agents.
Lesson 10. Cholinergic Blocking Agents (Anticholinergic Agents).
–Read and study each lesson carefully.
–Complete the subcourse lesson by lesson. After completing each lesson, work the exercises at the end of the lesson
–After completing each set of lesson exercises, compare your answers with those on the solution sheet that follows the exercises. If you have answered an exercise incorrectly, check the reference cited after the answer on the solution sheet to determine why your response was not the correct one.
