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.

This postgraduate diploma in Systemic Veterinary Pharmacology contains the most complete and up-to-date educational program on the market. The most important features include: 

• Innovative and up-to-date diagnostic techniques in infectious diseases and their application in daily clinical practice, including the use of cytology as a diagnostic tool in these diseases
• The most frequent and not so frequent pathologies of infectious origin in dogs from a practical and completely up-to-date point of view
• Infectious Pathologies oriented to the Feline Species, dealing extensively with all those of this species
• Vision "One Health", in which Zoonoses and their implications for public health will be reviewed
• Most frequent Infectious Pathologies of Dogs and Cats in the Tropics, with focus on Latin America. At present, there are no more exotic diseases, and they should be included by the clinician in the differential diagnosis when the epidemiology allows to suspect them
• Prevention and management of all infectious diseases, including clinical, home and community settings
