pharmacodynamic

28
Q

A compulsive need to use a substance repeatedly to avoid mild to severe withdrawal symptoms

A

physical dependence

29
Q

A compulsion to use a substance to obtain a pleasurable experience

A

physiological dependence

30
Q

A genetically determined abnormal response to normal dose of a drug

A

pharmacogenetic disorder

31
Q

A specialized macromolecule that binds to the drug molecule, altering the function of the cell and producing the therapeutic response.

A

receptor

32
Q

A drug that alters cellular function can increase or decrease the physiological functions of the cell.

A

alteration in cellular environment

33
Q

What are the two types of alterations in cellular environment?

A
  • Therapeutic response

- agonist

34
Q

Alteration of cell to achieve the desired response

A

therapeutic response

35
Q

Drug that binds with a receptor to produce the therapeutic response

A

agonist

36
Q

Drug that binds to receptor stronger than the agonist thus producing no pharmacological effect

A

antagonist

37
Q

What is an undesirable drug effects

A

adverse reaction

38
Q

A drug reaction that occurs because the individual’s immune system views the drug as a foreign substance

A

allergic reaction

39
Q

Any unusual or abnormal reaction to a drug that a patient can have, that do not occur in the vast majority of patients taking the same drug

A

drug idiosyncrasy

40
Q

A decreased response to a drug, requiring an increase in dosage to achieve the desired effect

A

drug tolerance

41
Q

A drug effect that occurs when the body has not fully metabolized a dose of a drug before the next dose is given

A

cumulative drug effect

42
Q

A harmful drug effect if it is delivered in high dose or when blood concentration levels exceed therapeutic level

A

toxic

43
Q

Inherited traits that cause abnormal metabolism of the drug

Example:G6PD

pharmacogenetics reactions

44
Q

The dissolution of a drug. Usually applying to the breakdown of tablets

pharmaceutic phase

45
Q

When one drug interacts with or interacts with the action of another drug

A

drug interaction

46
Q

A reaction that occurs when the combined effect of two drugs is equal to the sum of each drug given alone

A

additive drug reaction

47
Q

A drug interaction that occurs when drugs produce an effect that is greater than the sum of their separate actions

A

synergism

48
Q

When one drug interferes with the action of another drug, causing neutralization or a decrease in the effect of one drug

A

Antagonist drug reaction
