exam I Flashcards
percutaneous administration
thru skin
lipid soluble (steroids) work much better
slow sustained absorption
enteral
via GI
sublingual
oral
rectal
oral
aka per os/ PO
absorption varies due to gastric emptying time, food, other drugs
advantages of oral administration
mot used
convenient
safe, can recall drug
inexpensive
disadvantages of oral administration
slow absorption variability among different patients and in single patient can be inactivated by GI first pass metabolism requires conscious cooperative patient GI irritation
sublingual
warm moist environment for rapid drug dissolution
rich blood flow, close to mucosal surface
more rapid absorption than oral
unpleasant taste limits this use
IV advantages
no barriers to absorption
rapid onset and subsequent control
unsuitable for non-aqueous
large fluid volumes can be delivered
IV disadvantages
high cost, difficult, inconvenient, irreversible, fluid overload, infection, embolism
SQ advantages
lower blood flow -> slower absorption -> sustained actions
poorly water soluble drugs and depot preparations
ex- insulin, epinephrine
SQ disadvantages
discomfort
inconvenience
injury
IM
only barrier capillary wall
time course dictated by water solubility and blood flow, which is generally high in mm
can inject fat soluble, or particulate matter
DEPOT injections
penicillin G
painful, inconvenient
inhalation
for lungs
particle size and technique very important
phase I reactions
catabolic
more polar metabolite by introducing or unmasking a functional group
oxidation, reductions, hydrolysis, also deamination, desulfuration, dechlorination
MFOs: CYP, FMO, mEH, sEH
products generally more reactive and maybe more toxic then parent drug
enzymes in ER membranes of liver
phase II reactions
anabolic
conjugation
significantly faster then phase I
liver
phase I variations
ultrafast, normal, or poor metabolizer
