<\/a>A patient who visits a physician or physician extender frequently receives a prescription for a medication. That prescription is brought to the pharmacy to be filled.<\/p>\n
The patient expects professional attention at the pharmacy. Part of that expectation involves any caution or warning the patient should heed while taking the medication.<\/p>\n
In your role, you will serve as a source of drug information. Patients and friends will ask you specific questions concerning the use of prescription and over-the-counter medications. You must know the trade and generic names of literally hundreds of medications. Furthermore, you must know the cautions and warnings associated with many agents.<\/p>\n
How are you to know this information about drugs? Certainly you have had instruction which presented the basics of anatomy, physiology, and pharmacology. This instruction has given you a sound foundation for learning more in these areas. This
\nsubcourse will present instruction in anatomy, physiology, and pharmacology. The material in anatomy and physiology is included to refresh your memory or to give you additional information so you can better understand the pharmacology material.<\/p>\n
This subcourse is not intended to be used as an authoritative source of drug information. As you know, new drugs are constantly being discovered and new uses for existing drugs are being found through research. Therefore, you must rely upon this subcourse to review concepts or to learn new information. You are then to use other
\nsources (see lesson 1 of this subcourse) to gain new information as it is discovered.e problem before you attempt to take the final examination.<\/p>\n
Subcourse Components:<\/h2>\n
This subcourse consists of 11 lessons. The lessons are:<\/p>\n
Lesson 1. Professional References in Pharmacy.<\/p>\n
Lesson 2. Anatomy, Physiology, and Pathology Important to Therapeutics.<\/p>\n
Lesson 3. Introduction to Pharmacology.<\/p>\n
Lesson 4. Local Anesthetic Agents.<\/p>\n
Lesson 5. The Central Nervous System.<\/p>\n
Lesson 6. Agents Used During Surgery.<\/p>\n
Lesson 7. Sedative and Hypnotic Agents.<\/p>\n
Lesson 8. Anticonvulsant Agents.<\/p>\n
Lesson 9. Psychotherapeutic Agents.<\/p>\n
Lesson 10. Central Nervous System (CNS) Stimulants.<\/p>\n
Lesson 11. Narcotic Agents.<\/p>\n
Here are some suggestions\u00a0that may be helpful to you in completing this subcourse:<\/p>\n
–Read and study each lesson carefully.<\/p>\n
–Complete the subcourse lesson by lesson. After completing each lesson, work the exercises at the end of the lesson<\/p>\n
–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.<\/p>\n
