Teratogenic Drug

ter·a·to·gen·ic
Medication that may deform or kill the fetus
pharmacokinetics

phar·ma·co·ki·net·ics
the process (study) of how drugs are absorbed, distributed, metabolized, and excreted.
pharmacodynamics

phar·ma·co·dy·nam·ics
how drugs interacts with the body to cause its effects.
active transport
requires the use of energy to move a substance.
Example of active transport
Na+ - K+ pump
Protein pump that actively moves potassium ions into cell and sodium ions out of the cell. Because this movement goes against the ions' concentration gradients,it must use energy.
passive transport
movement of a substance without the use of energy.
Diffusion
the movement of solute in the solution from area of an higher concentration to an area of lower concentration.
osmosis
movement of solvent (usually water) in a solution from an area of lower solute concentration to an area of higher concentration.
Pharmacokinetic Process
Absorption
Distribution
Biotransformation
Elimination
Ionize
to become electrically charged or polar
bioavailability
the amount of drug that is still active when it reaches its target tissue
metabolism
the body's breaking down chemicals into different chemicals.
name given to the "metabolism" of drugs?
Biotransformation
Biotransformation effects
1-it can transform the drug into a more or less active metabolite
2-it can make the drug more water soluble (being dissolved) to facilitate (to make easier) elimination.
