In this microcredential we expand on dose-response relationships and the actions of drugs at receptor sites to look at the effects of various drugs and toxins on the human body. You’ll learn about the factors that contribute to adverse drug reactions, effects of drugs in different people, and the interactions that occur between different types of drugs when they are taken together.

About this microcredential

Pharmacology is a biomedical discipline that is concerned with the study of the effects of drugs on living systems. This microcredential builds on the introductory principles presented in Principles of Drug Actions, and takes a broader look at how drugs, alcohol and toxins affect the human body.

In this microcredential you will learn about the broader aspects of individual responses to drugs and other substances. You'll examine the interaction between drugs, receptors, and ion channels as determinants of drug action in the peripheral and central nervous systems, and look at the factors that drive individual responses to drugs, including the effects of drugs in pregnancy. You’ll also learn more about the pharmacological effects of other substances, including alcohol and various venoms and toxins.

Key benefits of this microcredential

This microcredential is equipped to provide participants with fundamental knowledge in pharmacology. The study of pharmacology is part of all nursing, medical, and pharmacy degrees, as well as many science degrees. 

This microcredential aligns with the 2 credit point undergraduate subject, Drugs in the Human Body (91183). Where this subject is a prerequisite for entry to the Master of Science (C04241) or Graduate Certificate in Science (C11216), successful completion of this microcredential may meet that requirement.

Who should do this microcredential?

This microcredential is suitable for anyone who is interested in understanding how drugs work, or anyone who needs to have pharmacology as a requisite for postgraduate study (for example a postgraduate pharmacy degree).
