Ethnopharmacology

the study of the genetic basis for differences we see in patients’ responses to the meds we administer (aka pharmacogenomics)

pharmacogenetics

Variation in response to a drug because of a patient's age, gender, size, body composition

drug polymorphism

Another name for prescription drugs

legend drugs




"Caution- federal law prohibits dispensing without a prescription"

Any drugs listed on one of the "schedules" of the Controlled Substance Act

controlled substance

The drug approval process is complex and prolonged. It begins with preclinical testing phases which include in vitro studies and animal studies




in vitro:

using tissue samples and cell cultures

_______ studies follow preclinical phase

Clinical (human)

the drug is put on the market after phase III is completed if an investigational new drug application is submitted

An application that must be submitted to the FDA before a drug can be studied in humans

Involves careful explanation to the human test patient of the purpose of the study etc.

informed consent

Which phase of clinical study?




Small number of volunteers who have the disease that the drug is designed to diagnose or treat. Closely monitored to determine drug's effectiveness and any adverse effects

Phase II

Which phase of clinical study?




Small number of healthy subjects rather than those who the drug is intended to treat. This phase determines dosage range, pharmacokinetics of the drug

Phase I

Which phase of clinical study?




Large number of patients who are followed by medical research centers. Provides info about infrequent or rare adverse effects that may have not been yet observed.




Placebos, Blind, double blind,

Phase III

Which phase of clinical study?




Post marketing studies that are voluntarily conducted by pharmaceutical company to obtain further proof of therapeutic and adverse affects. FDA may request Black box warning

Phase IV

FDA may recall drug any time




3 classes of recall:

Class 1: Most serious, drug has probability of serious adverse effects or death




Class 2: Less severe, drug may cause temporarily or medically reversable health effects

extrinsic
