2. i. describe the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of essential and commonly used drugs
3. ii. list the indications, contraindications, interactions and adverse reactions of commonly used drugs
4. iii. indicate the use of appropriate drug in a particular disease with consideration of its cost, efficacy and safety for : individual needs,
5. iv describe the pharmacokinetic basis, pharmacotherapy of common poisonings
6. Integrate the list the drugs of addiction and recommend the management
7. vi. Write the prescription for common emergency clinical disorders.
8. vii. Explain pharmacological basis of prescribing drugs in special medical situations such as pregnancy, lactation, infancy and old age
9. vii explain the concept of rational drug therapy in clinical pharmacology
10. viii state the principles underlying the concept of Essential Drugs
11. ix evaluate the ethics and modalities involved in the development and introduction of new drugs

(b) Skills

12. i. prescribe drugs for common ailments in experimental pharmacology (pharmacy).
13. ii. identify adverse reactions and interactions of commonly used drugs
14. iii. interpret the data of experiments designed for the study of effects of drugs and bioassays which are observed during the study
15. iv. be well:conversant with the principles of pharmacy and dispense the medications giving proper instructions:ability to write the label of medicinal preparation
16. v.active learning in pharmacology: presentation of seminar ,microteaching (public speech ability) quiz,(immediate recall ability) CME topic and research methodology(problem solving ability, rational use of medicines,analytical skill development)
