pharmacodynamics is?
2 |
drug effect on pt
MOA to get effects |
|
pharmacogenomics is? what does it mean?
|
pts have diff genes that make pt react to drugs different
|
|
chemical antagonists is?
|
special drug that blocks other drugs
|
|
inorganic vs organic drugs?
|
inorganic are dangerous
organic are weak acid/base |
|
large drug size is limited by what?
|
being able to move through out body
|
|
3 types of drug-receptor interactions to make them bind
|
covalent
electrostatic hydrophobic |
|
what is MEC?
|
minimum effective concentration of drug to see beneficial affects
|
|
what happens inside the therapeutic window?
|
see optimum therapeutic effects
|
|
what must you need to know to know about the drug to know where the therapeutic window is? 4
|
drug absorption, excretion, distribution in body, action/effect of drug
|
|
which is usually known, action or effect?
|
effect, action may be known
|
|
which can be seen, action or effect?
|
effect, action not seen ever
|
|
name of how much time drug is in therapeutic window?
|
duration of action
|
|
eneteral vs paraenteral
|
enteral-through GI
para enteral-not through GI |
|
how is absorption through percutaneous injection? what affects it?
|
very slow from keratin
|
|
percutaneous injection used for what? 2
|
dermalogical and slow systemic absorption
|
|
lipid or water soluble drugs penetrate skin better/faster?
|
lipid
|
|
list 3 enteral routes
|
sublingual, oral, rectal
|
|
which enteral route is fastest?
why? why not used more often? |
sublingual
many blood vessels, thin mucosa tastes bad |
|
where does oral get absorbed?
where mostly? |
stomach
intestines-mostly here |
|
what barrier must an oral dose cross? 2
how/why is this harder? |
1-epithelial cells
2-capillaries tight junctions prevent drug from going between epi cells, must go through cells |
|
what factors can change oral absorption in a single pt? 4
|
ph level, food level, gastric emptying, other drugs
|
|
why is oral so safe?
|
oral drugs can be recalled by vomitting
|
|
oral drugs
3 advantages |
advant-safe, cheap, easy
|
|
oral drug
5 disadvantages most important? |
slow absorption
diff with pts need cooperative pt GI can destroy drug 1st pass metabolism-most important i think |
|
list 6 para enterals
|
percutaneous, IV, IM, subCut, intranasal, inhalation
|
|
IV
absorption rate?why? controllable? amount delivered? |
high absorption-no barriers, no 1st pass
very controllable high amounts can be given |
|
5 disadvantages to IV
|
difficult, high cost, not safe, infection, embolism
|
|
subQ absorption rate? why?
duration? what dictates absorption rate? |
slow, less blood flow
long lasting blood flow |
|
SubQ works well with what type of drugs? 2
|
non-aqueous
depot preparations |
|
SubQ drawbacks? 2
|
injury, inconvenient
|
|
list 2 major SubQ drugs
|
insulin
epinephrine |
|
Intramuscular absorptioin rate?
why? barrier? |
fast
only barrier is capillary which has fenestrations and thus can go between endo cells |
|
compare capillaries vs epi cells for drug absorption
|
capillaries have fenestrations and drug can go between cells
epi cells have tight junctions and drug must go through cell |
|
what 2 things dictate Intramuscular absorption?
|
blood flow
drug solubility-water soluble is faster? |
|
list type of drug given IM-3
list 1 specifically |
depot, lipophilic, if cant be given orally
penicillin G |
|
1 major disadvantage of IM
|
painful
|
|
why would you give an inhalation drug?
|
for local absorption into lungs only, not systemic
|
|
what 2 aspects are important with inhalation drugs?
|
particle size, technique
|
|
whole body anesthesia is given how?
|
inhalation
|
|
intranasal injection given for what symptom?
|
upper respiratory infection
rhinitis |
|
1 problem with intranasal injection
|
a lot is swallowed
|
|
intrathecal injection for?
epidural? |
intrathecal-CNS, tumor
epidural-local anesthesia |
|
difference between rate and amount of drug absorption is?
|
rate=how quickly drug is absorbed
amount=intensity of effect |
|
what must happen first to a drug for it to be absorbed?
|
must be dissolved
|
|
why does high blood flow increase absorption?
|
it keeps the concentration gradient low by moving any absorbed drug to different area
|
|
lipid or water soluble drugs absorb faster?
|
lipid soluble drugs absorb faster
|
|
ionized vs non-ionized different how?
|
ionized=charged
non-ionized=no charge |
|
how do ionized drugs cross membranes?
|
slowly/not at all
|
|
where do drugs leave vessels and enter interstitium?
|
capillaries
|
|

volume of distribution |
fluid volume drug distributed to
|
