Always more, but often twice the amount of the maintenance dose:

Aspirate

Drug suspended in liquid that separates; must shake.

Suspension

Drug suspended in liquid that does NOT separate. No need to shake.

Solution

Another word for metabolism:

Biotransformation

Two MAJOR routes of elimination:

Kidneys & Liver

Time that concentration decreases by 50%:

Half-life elimination

Time after administration that animal can be sent to slaughter or products can be ingested (eggs, milk):

Withdrawal time

Inhalant drugs are excreted through the:

Lungs

Bring about a specific action by binding with the appropriate receptor. Synthesizes (mimics) something that normally occurs in the body:

Agonist drugs

Inhibits (blocks) a specific action by binding with a particular receptor:

Antagonist drugs

Two names for the Generic name:

Active Ingredient / Non-proprietary

Approves drug label information:

FDA

Tranquilizer

Causes drowsiness:

Sedative

Three ways DVMs know what antibiotic or antimicrobial drug to use:

-Is it gram negative or gram positive


-Is it aerobic (requires O2) or anaerobic (does not require O2)


-Sensitivity testing to check for resistance

8 Ways to Avoid Resistance

-Don’t use for mild infections; if you don’t have to use a drug then don’t


-Only use if at risk for severe infection


-Do not dismiss aseptic principles


-Use should be based on definitive diagnosis


-Don’t use broad-spectrum antibacterials if sensitive to a specific one


-Always administer in full therapeutic doses


-Use topically or locally when appropriate


-Know withdrawal times for slaughter animals (drug residues)
