Specialize in Systemic Veterinary Pharmacology through a revolutionary education, known for its teaching and content quality, and its intensive and flexible approach at the same time"

Given the large number of functions and organs that are controlled by the autonomic nervous system and the relatively small number of different receptors that mediate cholinergic and adrenergic transmission, it is difficult to ensure that drugs that interfere with these neurotransmitter systems achieve the necessary selectivity (absence of side effects) to be able to make broad therapeutic use of them.  

However, many of them are valuable tools in pharmacological research that have found some clinical utility by acting in three ways: by modifying the availability of the transmitter in the extracellular space, by acting on the presynaptic element (preganglionic or postganglionic nerve fibers) and by acting at the postsynaptic level (soma of the postganglionic neuron or effector cell). 

It establishes the drugs used for the treatment of a wide variety of neurological and psychiatric diseases, analgesics, among other symptoms.  

Due to their complexity, the mechanisms by which various drugs act on the Central Nervous System are not always well understood. These drugs with effects on the Central Nervous System act on specific receptors that regulate synaptic transmission. 

This Postgraduate diploma examines the main pharmacological properties (mechanism of action, pharmacokinetics, and therapeutic and toxic effects) of groups of drugs that act on the cardiovascular, respiratory, renal and blood systems.

Classifies the different drugs that act at the vascular level, such as coagulation modifiers and cardiac drugs. 

It examines the different drugs that act as respiratory stimulants, bronchodilators, expectorants and antitussives. 

It deals with the pharmacology of the digestive system, both at the level of secretion and motility, laxative and antidiarrheal drugs, as well as pharmacology of vomiting.  

It offers specialized knowledge on the different drugs that act on the motility of the stomach and its secretions, as well as drugs that act on gastric pH, on the intestinal tract and on rumen-reticulum motility.
