About the Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology:
The Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology is a core department within the Faculty
of Pharmacy that investigates drugs, their actions, therapeutic applications, side effects,
and toxic effects. The department's goal is to provide undergraduate and postgraduate
pharmacy students with the knowledge and skills required to use medications safely and
effectively.
The department's teaching techniques combine theoretical principles with practical
applications to help students comprehend how pharmaceuticals work in the body, how
they are created, and how their safety is assessed. There is a particular emphasis on
responsible drug usage, drug interactions, adverse drug reactions, and poisoning
management.
The department also contributes to scientific research in pharmacology and toxicology,
which aids in the development of new medications and increases medication safety. The
department prepares competent pharmacists to contribute to patient care and public
health through high-quality education and research.
