20

A
  • Every drug has up to 3 names

  • Antifungal
  • Antiviral
  • Anthelmintics
  • Ectoparasiticides
22

A
  • Arterial dilators
  • Vasodilator

25
Q

What is pharmokinetics?

A
  • Movement of drugs through the body
26
Q

What are the enteral routes (GIT) for drug administration?

A
  • Per os
  • Suppositories (per rectum)
  • Stomach tubes
  • Feeding tubes
27
Q

What is parenteral adminsitration?

A

Besides, beyond or apart from the intestines

28
Q

What are the 8 different parenteral routes?

A
  • Intravenous
  • Intra-arterial
  • Intramuscular
  • Subcutaneous
  • Intradermal
  • Intraperitoneal
  • Topical
  • Inhalation and nebulisation
29
Q

What is the first pass effect?

A

Drugs that partially or completely broken down by the liver may be excreted into the bile, going straight back to the GI tract

30
Q

What is pharmocodynamics?

A
  • How drugs affect the body
31
Q

How are orally administered drugs absorbed?

A
  • Travel through GIT with most being absorbed in the small intestine, enters hepatic portal circulation and is directed to the liver
  • Solid oral preparations must be dissolved in the GIT before absorption
  • Liquid preparations do not need to be dissolved
32
Q

What is pharmocodynamics?

A

How drugs affect the body or how the body responds to the drug

33
Q

What are the two ways a drug can elicit an effect?

A
  • Receptor-mediated pharmacodynamic
  • Non-receptor-mediated pharmacodynamic
34
Q

What is receptor-mediated pharmacodynamics?

A
  • The drug binds to the active site of receptors in the body, which changes the activity of the cell
  • Some receptors allow the drug in directly, but some require mediators
35
Q

What are the 3 types of receptor site interactions?

A
  • Agonist
  • Antagonist
  • Partial agonist
36
Q

What is an agonist?

A

Drug mimics endogenous ligands and fits into the active site of teh receptor and initiates a response

37
Q

What is an antognist?

A
  • Drug interacts with receptor site and prevents any response, so blocks and depresses the receptor
  • This is called an inhibitor
38
Q

What is a partial agonist?

A

A substance that doesn’t not exactly fir the active site as well as the endogenous ligand, so only a partial effect is initiated.

39
Q

What is non-receptor-mediated pharmacodynamics?

A
  • Drugs exert their effects via receptors
  • Antimicrobials, chemical action and physical action
40
Q

What does TD50 mean?

A

A dose that results in toxicity in 50% of the population

41
Q

What does LD50 mean?

A

The lethal dose in 50% of the population

42
Q

What does the ED50 mean?

A
  • The effective dose in 50% of the population
43
Q

What is the equation for working out a total dose?

A

Animals weight x dosage rate / drug concentration
