Q

in competitive antagonist explain what happens to efficacy and potency

efficacy stays the same, potency goes DOWN

25
Q

non-competitive antagonists ____ the receptor, its a ____ action

A

non-competitive antagonists inactivates the receptor, its a non-reversible action

26
Q

in non-competitive antagonist explain what happens to efficacy and potency

A

potency stays the same and efficacy goes down

27
Q

physiological antagonism

A

agonist and antagonist acting at 2 independent sites, opposite effects

28
Q

chemical antagonism is caused by combination of

A

agonist with antagonist with resulting in inactivation of the agonist

29

therapeutic index is an estimate of the ____ of the dose needed to produce ___ response from the dose that produces _____

A

therapeutic index is an estimate of the separation of the dose needed to produce desired response from the dose that produces toxicity

59
Q

problems with TI (4)

A
  1. data must be collected in animals
  2. applicability of animal data to humans is uncertain
