Please contact stephen.duffull@otago.ac.nz if you wish to be put on a waiting list.
This 2 day work shop will be run by leading experts in the area of pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics. The workshop will cover basic aspects of pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and bioequivalence with pharmaceutical and clinical applications.
For Whom Intended. This course is intended for pharmaceutical scientists, pharmacologists, pharmacists and physicians wishing to understand and apply pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic principles in their practice. Only minimal prior knowledge of pharmacokinetics is assumed.
Workshop Content The Workshop is divided into 3 parts (1) pharmacokinetics, (2) pharmacodynamics and (3) bioequivalence. Each part will contain a mixture of lectures and workshops.
A manual, comprising lecture outlines and relevant workshop materials, will be provided. Participants should come with a scientific hand calculator.
Topics to be covered include:
Pharmacokinetics: Clearance, volume, half-life, drug metabolism/interactions.
Pharmacodynamics: Emax, C50, immediate effects, delayed effects and disease progression.
Bioequivalence: Absorption, rate and extent, and bioequivalence analysis.
