1&2- Intro to Pharm Flashcards
biomedical science concerned with the interaction of chemical substances with living cells, tissues, and organisms. It is particularly concerned with the mechanisms by which drugs counteract the manifestations of disease
pharmacology
a division of pharmacology focused on processes that affect drug concentration in the body
pharmacokinetics
what the body is doing to the drug
pharmacokinetics
absorption, distribution, elimination, metabolism
pharmacokinetics
what the drug is doing to the body
pharmacodynamics
division of pharmacology focused on how a drug produces an effects
pharmacodynamics
drug targets/receptors, regulator effects
pharmacodynamics
science of poisons and toxicity
toxicology
science and profession concerned with preparation, storage, dispensage, and proper utilization of drugs
pharmacy
what does a prescription contain?
name of med dose route frequency date signature
high abuse potential, no medical use
schedule I
high abuse potential, some medical use
schedule II
lesser abuse potential, medical use, low potential physical dependence but high potential psychological dependence
schedule III
schedule classification of steroids vs. morphine
steroids: schedule III
morphine: schedule II
lesser abuse potential, medical use, little potential dependence
schedule IV
less abuse potential, medical use, very limited dependence
schedule V
at what stage is the lethal dose of drug calculated?
animal testing
how many phases of clinical testing are there?
4 total phases
is it safe? pharmacokinetics?
phase 1 testing (20-100 subjects)
does it work in patients?
phase 2 (100-200 patients)
how does it compare? double blind?
phase 3 (1000-6000 patients)
postmarketing surveillance?
phase 4
“antiviral drugs”
classification by drug action
“Beta blockers”
classification by molecular target
“steroids”
classification by chemical nature
