- Describe how medications get into and around the body
- Explain factors that affect medication strength in the body
- Describe how medications cause cell death in the cochlea
Description: This eAudiology Web seminar will briefly review fundamental concepts of pharmacology, including medication administration, distribution, metabolism, and cell death. Cell death in the cochlea will be examined as it relates tovarious ototoxic medications, and interactions between ototoxic and noise induced hearing loss.
