ANSTH - PHRMA Flashcards
Time dependency of the drug
a. Pharmacokinetics
b. pharmacodyanmics
c. Potency
d. Efficacy
A
True about pharmacokinetics EXCEPT
a. time dependency of the drug
b. describes the relationship between the dose of a drug and its plasma or tissue concentration
c. relates to absorption, distribution, metabolism and elimination
d. What the drug does to the body
D.
it is the definition of pharmacodynamics
How the plasma concentration of a drug translates into its effect on the body. This is called
Pharmacodynamics
True about Pharmacokinetics
a. oral, IV and nasal or sublingual route are subject to first pass effect
b. Moecular size of drug, capillary permability, polarity and lipid solubility affec rate of entry of drug into tissues
c. Theoretical volume that would be necessary to contain the total amount of an administered drug at the same concentration that it is observed in the blood plasma is called volume of distribution
d. AOTA
A. nasal or sublingual bypass first pass effect
Drugs that interact with and activate receptors; they possess both affinity and efficacy. Full efficacy
Full agonist
Pharmacologic antagonist that competes with agonist for receptor binding site
Competitive inhibitor
Drugs that interact with receptors in such a way that they have affinity but NO efficacy
Competitive inhibitor
Act different sites of receptor molecules (does not compete), and activates it. Alter receptor function without occupying it.
Allosteric activator
Reverse effect and action of allosteric activator
Allosteric inhibitor
Mechanisms of Desensitization
Downregulation
Upregulation
short-term diminution of receptor response caused by frequent or continuous exposure to agonists
Tachyphylaxis
Which drug would be absorbed first?
a. Gas
b. Solid
c. Liquid
A
What is the bioavailability of an IV drug?
100%
This is the apparent volume of fluid into which the drug appears to distribute itself at a concentration equal to that in the plasma.
Volume of distribution
True about volume of distribution
a. high volume of distribution means it is concentrated in the vascular space
b. minimal volume of distribution means that the drug is mostly in the extravascular space
c. both
d. neither
D.
Defined as the percentage of the active drug in a drug product that enters the systemic circulation as a parent compound after the administration of that drug
Bioavailability
The rate of elimination by all routes normalied to the drug
concentration
Drug clearance
dose required to produce a given effect
Potency
Power to produce effect
Efficacy
Dose producing the desired effect in 50% of the general population
ED50
shiw relationship between the dose of the drug admnistered and the pharmacologic effect of the drug
Dose response curves
dose producing death in 50% of animals to which it is given
LD50
LD50/ED50
therapeutic dose
Dose that brings toxicity in 50% of humans
TD50
