Comenius University: What Does a Pharmacologist Think About at a Music Festival?
Speaker: Prof. PharmDr. Ján Klimas, PhD., MPH

A music festival is, above all, about beautiful experiences and sharing them with others. But sometimes, in the midst of euphoria, people may take things a bit too far. For a pharmacologist, it’s hard not to start thinking about the effects of “biologically active substances” and their interactions with other things acting in our bodies. Even everyday medications, like allergy pills or contraceptives, can mix with alcohol, caffeine, and other substances to create a cocktail of unwanted effects. So how can we enjoy a festival without missing out on the best moments? What should we watch out for, and how can we at least reduce potential harm? These are some of the topics that will be covered by Professor Ján Klimas, Dean of the Faculty of Pharmacy at Comenius University.
