Q

Pharmacotherapy

A

Selection of the right drug in right dose to interact with right target to produce the desired therapeutic effects. These are the prevention/diagnosis/treatment or cure of a particular disease

Q

Pharmacokinetics

A

What the body does to the drug. Relates to dose of drug and its absorption; distribution; metabolism and excretion. All of this leads to the plasma concentration (Cp) that results from the dose

Q

Pharmacodynamics

A

AKA mechanism of action (what the druge does to the body). Relates to the Plasma concentration (Cp) of a drug and its receptor binding;signal transduction; physiological effects. All of this leads to the clinical effects (mechanism and magnitude of drug effect)

Q

Goal of pharmacotherapy

A

When multiple doses are administered it is to reach and maintain Cp at steady state with the therapeutic window to produce the desired response with a minimum of toxicity

Q

Dosage regimen

A

Designed to ensure that the desired steady state drug level [Cpss(avg)] is maintained within the therapeutic window by balancing rate of drug elimination with the prescribed rate of drug administration. Key element in pharmacotherapeutics. Select drug/dose; route; frequency; duration

16
Q

What is the selection of drug route of administration based on?

A

Pharmacokinetics. Leads to absorption and distribution of drug

17
Q

What is the selection of dosage frequency based on?

A

Pharmacokinetics. Leads to metabolism and excretion

18
Q

What is the selection of duration based on?

A

Disease Pathophysiology

19
Q

Relationship of physiology; pathophysiology and pharmacology

A

Learn physiology to identify potention targets for drug action. Learn pathophysiology to learn how the target should be manipulated (enhanced or blocked) in a particular disease. Learn pharmacology to select appropriate drug to bring about desired manipulation

20
Q

Bioavailability

A

How much of the dose of the drug reaches its target in the body (F)

21
Q

Time to peak effect

A

How fast does the drug reach its target in the body (Tmax or Cmax)

22
Q

Volume of distribution

A

What dose (mg) to obtain desired Cp (mg/L) (Vd)

23
Q

Absorption

A

Passage of drug from the site of administration into the blood

24
Q

Distribution

A

Movement of the drug from the bloodstream to tissues; where it accesses targets. Includes consideration of drug-protein binding; passage across BBB or placenta; selective accumulation affecting drug efficacy or toxicity.

25
Q

Route of Administration

A

Site of application of the drug into or on the patient. Administered to obtain either systemic effects (absorbed into bloodstream and distribute to sites of action in the body) OR topical effects (mostly remain at site of application for local action)

26
Q

Duration of action

A

How long will the drug stay at its target in the body. (Half-life)

27
Q

Clearance

A

elimination of drug activity following drug administration by the combined processes of metabolism (liver) and excretion (kidneys). (CL)

28
Q

Side effects

A

Drug target at non-target system. Seen at therapeutic doses. Dose-dependent and predictable

29
Q

Extension effects

A

Drug target at target system. Seen at supra-therapeutic doses. Dose-dependent and predictable

30
Q

Idiosyncratic reactions

A

Peculiar to an individual. Less predictable/less common. Immunologic or metabolic in origin
