Veterinary medicines are a separate group of medicines that can be distributed in special veterinary pharmacies or in community pharmacies together with other medicines. Often, veterinary products do not differ from human medicines in terms of the active substances, but the dosage and packaging of the drugs are different. In order to trade veterinary medicinal products, the distributor must have a license for the distribution of veterinary medicinal products and the veterinary medicinal product must be registered. The most veterinary medicines are prescription medicines. The aim of the course is to introduce students to the rules of registration, marketing of veterinary medicines and their pharmacological effects. The tasks of the course are to characterize the most popular veterinary drugs, their indications, use and to compare the effects of medicines on different animal species.

The aim of the course is to study drug metabolism and elimination from the human body as a part of the ADME (adsorption, biodistribution, metabolism, and elimination) pharmacokinetic process. The tasks of the course are to learn about the biotransformation pathways according to the detoxification mechanism classification into phase I and phase II reactions. Another task will be to clarify the drug metabolism variability between individuals that is caused by the differences in drug-metabolizing protein, drug-receptor, and transport protein genes. Clinically significant examples of pharmacogenetics and pharmacogenomics will be presented. Moreover, drug and metabolite influence on the environment will be discussed using polychlorinated bisphenol (PCB) accumulation in the food chain as an example. Students will be introduced to drug environmental assessment (ERA) guidelines. Latvian is the course language.
