Veterinary Pharmacology and Toxicology is a specialized course that focuses on the study of drugs, their effects, and the treatment of poisoning in animals. It covers the principles of pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics, including drug absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion. The course explores different classes of drugs, their mechanisms of action, indications, contraindications, and potential side effects in various animal species. 

It also delves into toxicology, examining the sources, effects, diagnosis, and management of toxic substances that can affect animals, such as pesticides, heavy metals, plant toxins, and pharmaceuticals. Students learn how to identify and treat poisoning cases and understand the legal and ethical considerations surrounding drug use in veterinary medicine. 

The course is essential for veterinary professionals as it provides the foundation for safe and effective drug administration, ensuring animal health and welfare while minimizing risks associated with drug interactions and toxic substances.
