Q

Genetic factors can cause unwanted drug effects.

ABCB1 (formerly MDR1) gene deletion affects whom and how?

A

Collies- this gene normal encodes p-glycoprotein.
Mutation or deletion means less p-go produced
35%homozygous in North America

Q

How does gender/gestation affect drug stuff.

A

Women are complicated, and then they get pregnant and men should run and buy chocolate. But really, know what you can’t give during gestation.

Q

Hypersensitivity to drugs

A

Prior exposure is necessary
Cross sensitivity
Type 1 hypersensitivity( allergy and or anaphylaxis)

22
Q

What drugs are antigens?

A

Blood, plasma, protein hormones.

23
Q

What drugs are haptens

A

Penicillins sulfonamides aspirin

Drugs that are too small to directly bind to the antibody.

24
Q

What is tolerance

A

Gradual decrease in responsiveness to chronic drug administration.

25
What is tachyphylaxis
Acute acquired tolerance | Ephedrine
26
What are some pharmacokinetic mechanisms
Altered absorption of the drug Enzyme induction (increased metabolism of the drug) Increased active excretion of the drug
27
What are some pharmacodynamic mechanisms?
Desensitization (receptor down-regulation) Loss of receptor Exhaustion of mediator
28
Route of administration affects the drug. How?
IV- fastest onset short duration PO- slow onset longer duration Lidocaine- IV- antiarrhythmic Locally- local anesthetic
29
Food and drugs
Absorption rate is typically slower with food/fluid
30
CNS stimulants, when do you give them?
More effective during the day | Circadian effects
31
CNS depressants when do you give them
More effective at night | Circadian
32
What is cumulative
Rate of elimination is slower than absorption Digitalis Phenylbutazone Thiopental
33
Beneficial drug on drug effects
Trimethoprim and sulfonamide | ACE inhibitor and thiazides diuretic
34
Detrimental DRug on drug reactions
Aminoglycoside and muscle relaxant (and a lot of others as well) Chloramphenicol and phenobarbital
35
What is summation
Drug A+ Drug B= A+B
36
What is synergism
Drug A + Drug B > A+B
37
What is antagonism
Drug A+ Drug B
38
What is chemical antagonism
Drugs react chemically to inactivate each other. | Tetracyclines and calcium
39
Physiological antagonism
Drugs that work in different ways and have opposing effects that cancel each other out.
40
Pharmacokinetic antagonism
One drug reduces the concentration of the other at its site of action by interfering with its ADME process.
41
Receptor antagonism
One drug binds to a receptor and prevents the other drug from having its normal activity at that receptor.
42
What is a pharmacokinetic drug on drug reaction?
Absorption - one drug can inhibit the absorption of another drug (SQ lidocaine and epi) - one drug can enhance the absorption of another (topical DMSO & griseofulvin) Distribution -binding site competition on plasma protein (warfarin and phenylbutazone)
43
What are some enzyme inducers?
Phenobarbital, bute, rifampin, griseofulvin, kale
44
What are some enzyme inhibitors?
Chloramphenicol, cimetidine, ketoconazole, grapefruit
45
What are the factors modifying excretion?
Competition for carrier molecules (probenecid and penicillin) Changes in urine pH Acidic urine= inc excretion of weak bases Alkaline urine= inc excretion of weak acids
46
What's an example of temperature modifying drugs?
At 122oF the solubility of procaine increases in Pen G procaine preparations. Don't leave in pickup on a hot day.
47
How does oxygen effect drugs?
Decreased ambient oxygen may worsen respiratory depression induced by pentobarbital.
48
Why is humidity important?
Reconstituted drugs have varying half lives due to humidity. Amoxicillin
49
Why is light important
Some drugs react to light
50
Why is important to know what the drug can bind to?
Some drugs bind to different surfaces.
