Title of the course: Therapeutic drugs monitoring
Level: 5th Year , 2st Semester       

Objectives
1- The present course enables students to learn how to select the most appropriate drugs for an individual, recommend the dosage regimen that is most likely to achieve the desired therapeutic response with minimum risk of toxic effects
2- Monitor the effect of a drug, if appropriate.
3- The principles of clinical pharmacokinetics will be applied, which are fundamental to the current practice of clinical pharmacy and may be more significant as pharmacists expand their roles into prescribing
