Elderly Pharm-PPt Josh Flashcards
Thankyou teresa and remember……
round eyes on the right
Physiology:
Physiologic changes that occur during aging can effec pharmcological responses including what 3 main things
- Plasma protein binding
- Body content
- Drug metabolism
Physiology:
what happens to the plasma protein albumin (acidic)
decreased
Physiology:
what happens to the plasma protein Alpha1-acid glycoprotein (base)
Increased
Physiology: Body content
what happens to lean body mass
Decreased
Physiology: Body content
what happens to body fat
Increased
Physiology: Body content
what happens to total body water
Decreased
Physiology: Body content
recap what are the 3 maoin body content changes that affect how drugs work
- decreased muscle mass
- increased Body fat
- decreased total body water
Physiology:Water soluble drugs
what happens to Vd
Smaller
Physiology:Water soluble drugs
wha happes to plasma concentration of drugs
Higher
Physiology:Water soluble drugs
what will happen to pharmacological effect
Increase
Physiology: Lipid soluble drugs
what happens to Vd
Larger
Physiology: Lipid soluble drugs
what happens to plasma concentration
Lower
Physiology: Lipid soluble drugs
what happens to elimination
Prolonged
Physiology: Drug Elimination
in the liver the liver volumes decreases 20-40%, hepatic blood flow decreases 10% per decade, and there is a decrease innate capacity to metabolize drugs. this all leads to what r/t drug metabolisim
it decreases
Physiology: Drug Elimination
the renal changes are decreased plasma flow, GFR decreases 6-8% per decade, and renal fxn in reduced, this all leads to what r/t excretion ability of drugs
it decreases
Physiology: Summary
name the effects
- Decreased vascular volume
- decreased protein binding
- increased total body lipid stores
- Decreased renal and hepatic blood flow
- high inital plasma concentration
- Increased availability of free drug
- Prolomnged action of lipid soluble drugs
- Prolomged action of drugs dependent on kidney and liver elimination
Pharmacology: Benzodiazepines
what happens to Vd
Increased
