Pathophysiology and Pharmacology

Instructions
(🚩 Please follow carefully 🚩 )

The goal of this assignment is to use a real clinical scenario to demonstrate how you can synthesize and integrate the knowledge of pathophysiology and pharmacology in the management of the case’s condition. Keep in mind that disease manifestation varies and may not follow text book description.
