Constant amount of drug eliminated regardless of dose
0 (zero) order kinetics
Drug amount eliminated proportional to dose
1st order kinetics
Time for a drug to reach steady state
5 half lives
Amount of drug in body divided by amount in plasma/blood
Volume of Distribution
Drugs with high volume of distribution have higher concentrations in extravascular or intravascular compartment?
Extravascular (eg fat tissue)
Fraction of unchanged drug reaching systemic circulation known as
Bioavailabilityq
Drug level at which desired effect occurs in 50% of pts
ED50
Drug level at which death occurs in 50% of pts
LD50
Decline in potency with continued use
Tolerance
Effect at an unusually low dose
Hyperactive
Tolerance after only a few doses
Tachyphylaxis
Dose required for effect
Potency
Ability to achieve results without untoward effect
Efficacy
Responsible for drug metabolism
Smooth ER (Liver), P450 system
Demethylation, oxidation, reduction, hydrolysis metabolism phase
Phase 1
Metabolism Phase for glucuronic acid and sulfate attached to for water-soluble metabolite
Phase 2
Product of phase 2 metabolism that’s usually inactive and ready for excretion
water-soluble metabolite
