what is pharmacokinetics?
is the drug moving thru the body, what body does to the drug
what is pharmocoDYNAMICS
what drug does to the body, constantly changing
what is pharmocology
the study of therapeutic agents intended to change processes associated with patho or disease state
what is pharmcotherpeutics?
cure or make better
what do you have to know to presrcibe?
what r u treating
what agents may be effective
any problems with the agent
is drug effective
does drug cause any problems
drugs can be 3 things?
biologics
natural/alternatives
traditional
what are biologic drugs and examples?
naturally produced or made by the body's cells
- hormones
- vaccine
-animal products
- microorganisms
what are natural/alternative drugs?
regulated by dietary supplemental health education act
-herbs
- vitamins
- minerals
-extracts
-alkaloids
what are traditional drugs?
regulated by the FDA, chemically produced, only with a persription(legend drugs), generic/trade, OTC
what are the 8 questions for considering drugs?
1. what PATHOLOGY are we trying to change?
2. What categories of drugs are available to treat the patho?
3. Mechanism of action, how will the drug choice address the problem
4. Tell the differeence btw features of specific drugs in this class
5. How is it absorbed
6. How is it distributed in the body
7. how is the drug eliminated from the body(clearance)
8.Safety profile : effects, interactions, pregna?breast feeding?
PCA FADES..remember
Enteral includes
oral, sublingual, rectal...GI
Parenteral includes
IV,IM,SubQ,intraacticular(joints), intrethcal(btw spine), abd organs
Topical includes
skin, mucus membranes, ears, eyes
Pharmokinetics is regulated by what 4 mechanisms
absorption-input
distribution-same as bioavaibility(drug n plasma)
metabolism - drug in tissues
excretion- output
what are absorption factors
membrane thickness,surface area,tight vs loose connection

bloodstream factors are binding to plASMA proteins,body temp,contact time
what effects how much drug in plasma depends on what(distribution)
protein vs free drug, blood flow to target area, permeability(MUST BE LIPID SOLUBLE TO PASS)
BLOOD BRAIN BARREIR, PLACENTA BARRIER, TESTICULAR BARRIER, LIPOPHILLIC OR CALCIUM BINDING
HOW MUCH DRUG IN TISSUE DEPENDS ON (METABOLISM)
liver,1st pass effect(oral)
kidneys
gi track
rate of metabolism
what is the first pass effect?
once drugs are absorbed thru the cells of the gi track, they enter venous blood thru the liver b4 entering the systemic circulation. drugs that are biotransformed(activated) in the liver will be very altered prior to entering systemic circulation
what is phase 1
p450 oxidize, adds 0H group chemically
what is phase 2?
conjugation, adds sugar group and water follows sugar. making more water soluble to help with elimination in the urine
what is cyp p450
a large superfamily of hemeproteins,
catalyze enzymatic reactions
named by number,letter,number
another name for drug/drug and drug/herbal is
p450
inducers do what?ex?
induce p450 activity and increase and eliminate drug b4 absorbed
inhibitors are what?
decrease p450 which keeps drug in body longer , grapefruit can increase p450
excretion
many drugs are secreted unchanged in the urine
the clearance of the drug is directly proportional to renal function
crearinine clearance= kidney function
where can elimination take place
mostly thru kidneys but can be thru
lungs, bile(gallbaladder), saliva, sweat, breast milk
Pharmocodynamics is what
what drug does to the body
efficiacy- how BIG a response the drug elicits
potnecy- how much DOSAGE is needed to get response
what is the dose response curve
how much of the drug is needed to get the desired response?if you keep giving the drug how much greater response will you get?
what is an adverse drug reaction?
any noxious, unintended, and undesired effect on drug, watch out for patients who are slow acetylators (asian p450 is slower and is hard to eliminate and dont need as much)
interactions happen due to 4 things?
altered absorbtion in the liver
altered metabolism
plasma protein compensation
altered excretion in kidneys
what is an addition interaction
2 diff drugs= increase effect
synergism
2 differ drugs= even bigger response than addition
Potentiation
one drug has no effect + one that has effect= drug has effect
Antagonism
2 separate drugs together = no effect and canceled out
liver disease and drugs
should invoke caution in the doc, this may lead to higher drugs level and portential toxcity
what does smoking and drugs do with drugs?
smoking interferes with p450 and acts as an INHIBITOR for many drugs
alcohol potentiate CNS drugs
kids
bodies have a higher % of water =increased drug concentration
dehydration may lead toward higher drug levels bc renal clearance is different
dose by weight- mg per kg per day/#of doses
elderly
renal function decreases with age
know creatine clearance
poor nutrtion and low serum albumin may affect protein binding of drug leading to toxciity
sensory/cognitive =problems with compliance
Chammomile
GI/antiinflammatory
sleepiness, anxiety, used with anticoagulants, INIHIBITS p450
Echinacea
treat a cold, increase immunity, stimulates t cell production, placebo effect
Garlic
prevent heart disease
excreted in lungs,sweat,breast milk, urine, feces
Evening Primose
eczema ,blood clots
Ginger
cure all tonic
urine, breast milk
Hawthorn
improves blood flow
strengthens heart contractions
