Different methods are used in the programme: classification of pharmacological agents according to their selective action on different types of neurotransmission, a list of the different classes of pharmacological agents that have a common therapeutic target and what could determine any overlap. Drugs as modulators of aminergic transmission agonists and antagonists of catecholamine receptors; drugs modulating catecholamine uptake and neuronal metabolism. Agonists and antagonists of muscarinic and nicotinic receptors, cholinesterase inhibitors.Antagonists of histamine receptors. Agonists and antagonists of serotonin receptors, drugs modulating serotonin uptake and neuronal metabolism.Drugs as modulators of aminoacidergic transmission. Agonists of GABA receptors; drugs modulating GABA uptake and neuronal metabolism. antagonists of glutamate receptors. Drugs as modulators of peptidergic transmission. Agonists and antagonists of opioid neuropeptides receptors, pharmacological modulation of tachykinin-mediated neurotransmission. Pharmacological basis of local and general anesthesia. Intravenous and volatile anaesthetic drugs; therapeutic gases; local anesthetics. Pharmacological basis of neurologic and psychiatric therapy. Antianxiety drugs and hypnotics; antidepressants; antipsychotic agents and litium, antiepileptic drugs. Pharmacological basis of cardiovascular therapy. Cardiac glycosides and other positive inotropic drugs; nitrovasodilatators and other drugs for angina pectoris; antihypertensive agents, anti-arrhythmic drugs; diuretics, anticoagulants, antithrombotics, drug therapy for anemias. Pharmacological basis of dismetabolism therapy. Drugs for dyslipidemia, antidiabetics, drugs for gout and uricemia. Pharmacological basis of anti-histaminic, anti-allergic and immunomodulating therapy. Theophylline and other broncodilatators; chromones; leukotrienes antagonists and inhibitors of its synthesis; glucocorticoids; cyclosporine and other immusuppressants, interferons. Pharmacological basis of inflammation therapy. Non Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs, glucocorticoids, sulphasalazine and other antirheumatic drugs, methotrexate as antirheumatic drug, biological agents for rheumatoid arthritis. Pharmacological basis of pain therapy. Opioid analgesics, other drugs modulating pain transmission; drugs for neuropathic pain.Pharmacological basis of therapy for gastrointestinal diseases.Drugs for peptic ulcers, mesazaline and other drugs for inflammatory bowel disease, drugs for disorders of bowel mobility and water flux, emetics and antiemetics, laxatives.Hormones and hormone derivatives. Hypothalamic and pituitary hormones, thyroid hormones and antithyroid drugs; adrenocortical steroids; estrogens and Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators; aromatase inhibitors; progestins; androgens and anabolic steroids; calcitonins and other drugs for osteoporosis.
