7. Medicines and Pharm Flashcards
What drugs are bound by albumin
Warfarin and PCN are 90% bound
s/e of sulfonamide
Displace unconjugated bilirubin from albuin in newborns causing kernicterus
What drugs are stored in bone
Tetracycline
heavy metals
O order kinetics
Constant amount of drug is eliminated regardless of dose
1st order kinetics
drug eliminated proportional to dose
How long does it take a drug to reach steady state?
5 half lives
Volume of distribution
amount of drug in the body divided by amount of plasma/blood
- high VOD means high concentrations in vascular compartment (fatty tissue) compared to intravascular
Bioavailability
Fraction of unchanged drug reaching systemic circulation
- 100% for IV
- Oral usually less (PO cipro is 100%)
ED50
drug level at which desired effect occurs in 50%
LD50
drug level at which death occurs at 50%
Tachyphylaxis
Tolerance after only a few doses
Phase 1 metabolism
Demethylation, redox, hydroxylation
Phase 2 metabolism
Glucuronic acid and sulfates attached to form water soluble metabolite
