. . . . . CORRESPONDENCE COURSE U.S. ARMY MEDICAL DEPARTMENT CENTER AND SCHOOL SUBCOURSE MD0806 EDITION 200 THERAPEUTICS III Drugs that act upon the respiratory system, cardiovascular system, or urinary system are frequently dispensed in both military and civilian pharmacies. This is because conditions that affect these systems (that is, hypertension affecting the cardiovascular system) affect many people. Consequently, it is imperative that you have an understanding of these systems and the drugs that act on them. As with MD0804 (Therapeutics I) and MD0805 (Therapeutics II), anatomy, physiology, and pharmacology are presented in a combined perspective. This is done to help you to understand and remember the actions, uses, side effects, and patient warnings associated with the drugs included in these lessons. You should remember that this subcourse is not intended to replace accepted references in anatomy, physiology, or pharmacology. Instead, it is designed to help you gain a background in these areas so that you may continue learning in a self-directed manner. You are encouraged to read pertinent journals, study pharmacology texts, and talk to fellow health-care professionals in order to learn more about the topics presented in this subcourse. ---------------------- Length: 169 Pages Estimated Hours to Complete: 14 Format: PDF file Size: 2.1 MB ---------------------- This subcourse consists of: Lesson 1.
