Farmacovigilancia ocular (Coursera)

Farmacovigilancia ocular (Coursera)

En este curso, el participante identificará entre una reacción adversa al medicamento, un evento temporalmente asociado a vacunas y las consecuencias adversas de las tecnologías médicas. Se busca la mejora de la seguridad del paciente al disminuir el riesgo de pérdida de la visión o afecciones oculares secundarias a través de la valoración del caso y la aplicación de técnicas diagnósticas oculares.

La farmacovigilancia ocular es una actividad que puede realizar cualquier profesional de la salud, en el entendido de que busca la efectividad del fármaco y el seguimiento de problemas comunes poco identificados en la población, los cuales dependen de las potenciales interacciones medicamentosas (fármaco-fármaco, fármaco-alimento, fármaco-planta medicinal).

Al término del curso:
• Promoverás la actividad de identificación y notificación de reacciones adversas a medicamentos (RAM), eventos temporalmente asociados a vacunas (ESAVI), y consecuencias del uso de dispositivos médicos (tecnovigilancia).

Syllabus

WEEK 1
Morfofisiología ocular
En este módulo, conocerás las características básicas que identifican al tejido ocular como un órgano inmunológicamente privilegiado. Éstas se relacionan con la presencia de un efecto farmacológico y su posible respuesta ante la presencia de fármacos.

WEEK 2
Farmacocinética ocular
En este módulo, conocerás lo que es la farmacología y los cuatro procesos que componen a la farmacocinética ocular (absorción, distribución, biotransformaciòn y eliminación. También revisarás cómo afectan estos elementos a la visión de los pacientes.

WEEK 3
Farmacovigilancia ocular
En este módulo, conocerás aspectos generales y específicos de farmacovigilancia. También revisarás los programas para identificar y valorar los eventos o incidentes adversos producidos por medicamentos (RAM), vacunación o inmunización (ESAVI) o dispositivos médicos (TV), así como la definición y clasificación de cada uno, para la implementación de la notificación espontánea.

WEEK 4
Seguimiento y recomendaciones terapéuticas
En este módulo, aprenderás a evaluar la visión de los pacientes sospechosos de presentar un evento adverso con la finalidad de darle seguimiento a una condición relacionada con la farmacovigilancia.

Preclinical Safety: From In Vitro Assays to Human Dose Predictions (edX) EdX

Preclinical Safety: From In Vitro Assays to Human Dose Predictions (edX)

Drugs are approved based on their “safety and efficacy”. Determining the safety of a drug occurs through studies that are largely completely separate from efficacy studies. The safety studies fall under the umbrella of preclinical safety. While a drug’s therapeutic benefit is typically narrow and well-defined, the potential safety risks of a compound can be very broad. Preclinical studies therefore search broadly in order to reveal any possible safety issues in a compound. Safety studies ultimately determine dosing limits for clinical trials as well as the final approved drug product.

Lead Discovery & Optimization for Efficacy, PK, & Safety (edX)

Understanding the efficacy, potency, pharmacokinetics, and safety of compounds is important, but compounds almost always require improvement in their properties in order to become drugs. The process of improvement is called lead optimization and requires a thorough understanding of how a molecule’s structure affects its function, whether efficacy, PK, or toxicity. Unraveling a compound’s structure-function relationship enables lead optimization and hopefully results in the discovery of a compound that can be advanced into clinical trials.
