Principles of Pharmacology for Athletic Trainers
Covers pharmacological and toxicological actions, therapeutic use, and legal issues of medications encountered in athletic training.
Summary
What you’ll be able to do
Identify the general concepts and differences in the legal regulation of non-prescription, prescription, and classified pharmaceuticals.
Define the pharmacological concepts of dissolution, bioavailability, and bioequivalence.
Summarize the pharmacodynamic principles of receptor theory, dose-response relationship, placebo effect, potency, and drug interactions as they relate to the mechanism of drug action and therapeutic effectiveness.
Describe how common pharmacological agents influence pain and healing and their influence on various therapeutic interventions.
Assess the general indications, contraindications, and adverse reactions of prescription and nonprescription medications commonly encountered in the practice of athletic training (e.g. steroidal and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications, analgesics, antibiotics) as identified in the course syllabus.
