Block 1 Flashcards
what are relative contradictions
caution should be taken
what are absolute contradictions
drug should not be used
what is the national formulary
information on the product available to prescribers
what is the pharmacopoeia
contains a list of drugs with all there chemical information
what is another name for brand name of a drug
proprietary
aspirin is an example of it’s chemical name, non-proprietary name, or proprietary name
non-proprietary
what are the 7 stages of drug development
- discovery
- animal studies
- IND application
- clinical studies
- submission of NDA
- approval of NDA
- post-marketing surveillance
what are the 3 purposes
of animal studies
beneficial/harmful effects on organs
mechanism of action
pharmokinetics
what is the dosage for acute toxicity
single dose
what is the dose for sub-acute toxicity
3 doses, 2 weeks to 3 months
what is the dose for chronic toxicity
more than 6 moths (2 species)
what is involved in phase I of a clinical trial
evaluation of safety
healthy volunteers
both investigator and subjects know what drug is being administered
what is involved in phase II of a clinical trial
patients with the disease
single or double blind
“does the drug work in patients with the targeted condition”
what is involved in phase III of a clinal trial
large group of patients with the disease
double blind
“does it work, how safe is it”
what is off-label drug use
medication is being used for something other than what is was originally approved for
in what schedule of drugs can medication not be refilled
II
in what schedule of drugs are they not accepted for medical use
I
schedule III, IV, and V drugs can be refilled but only for a maximum of __ times
5
what is first pass metabolism
the drug is metabolized before it has reached systemic circulation
(absorption through intestinal mucosa to liver portal system for processing before reaching systemic circulation)
what 2 type of drug administration have no first class metabolism, therefor have a greater bioavailability
IV
sublingual/buccal
what drugs move by way of simple or passive diffusion
lipid soluble
non-ionized
what is the equation for oral bioavailability if equal dose is given
AUCoral/AUCiv
AUC= area under curve
what is the equation for intramuscular bioavailability if equal dosage is given
AUCim/AUCiv
what equation is used to calculate bioavailability if an equal dosage is not given
(AUCoral x Doseiv)/(AUCiv x Doseoral)
non-ionized forms of drugs are lipid soluble or water soluble and are easier or harder to absorb
lipid
better
ionized drugs are poorly absorbed so they are eliminated in what way
renally excreted
weakly acidic drugs are best absorbed in the ___, while weakly basic drugs are best absorbed in the ___
stomach
intestine
milk reduces the activity of what drug
tetracycline
food reduces the activity of what drug
ampicillin
fatty foods increase the absorbance of what drug
griseifulvin
does first pass metabolism increase or decrease bioavailability
decrease
