49
Q

idiosyncratic reaction

A

we don’t know why this reaction occurred

50
Q

Anaphylaxis

A

Severe allergic reaction with hives, tongue or throat swelling, shortness of breath. Epinephrine is an antidote and diphenhydramine (Benadryl) and/or corticosteroids are usually helpful

51
Q

Agonist

A

a drug stimulates a receptor causing an effect

52
Q

Antagonist

A

a drug blocks another drug or natural chemical preventing an effect

53
Q

Partial agonist/antagonist

A

a drug that blocks another drug from stimulating a receptor but inherently produces a slight effect

54
Q

Pharmacokinetic drug interaction

A

One drug changing the drug concentrations (Cmax, AUC) of another drug. Pharmacokinetic is ADME (Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism, Elimination)

55
Q

Pharmacodynamic drug interaction

A

One drug accentuates (potentiates) or attenuates (antagonizes) another drug’s effect without changing the Cmax or AUC of another drug

56
Q

Cytochrome P450 System

A

System that metabolizes many drugs in the liver (and small intestine). Creates active or inactive metabolites.

57
Q

Off Label

A

Drug being used for a purpose other than the FDA approved indication

58
Q

Therapeutic Range/Therapeutic Window

A

the concentrations between the minimum effective and minimum toxic concentration

A

= 5 mL of drug of interest in a total volume of 100 mL of solution

68
Q

% strength in weight/volume

A

= weight of drug of interest in g divided by total volume per 100mL

69
Q

% strength in weight/weight

A

= weight of drug of interest in g divided by total weight of 100 g of powder

70
Q

% strength in volume/volume

A

= volume of drug of interest in mL divided by total volume of 100 mL

71
Q

5 Steps of Patient Centered Pharmacist Care

A
  1. [Collect] Collect subjective and objective evidence
  2. [Assess] Assess the objective (labs, x-rays, ECGs, BP, Tumor markers, cultures, etc) and subjective (pain, throbbing, anxiety, sadness, etc) evidence looking for drug related problems
  3. [Plan] Develop a plan to address the drug related problems
  4. [Implement] Implement the plan in concert with other health professionals
  5. [Follow-up: Monitor and Evaluate] Evaluate the patient outcomes and adjust if necessary by going back through the process
