Four Main types of Covid Vaccines in development:
mRNa
Vector Vaccines
Protein subunit vaccine
Whole, killed vaccine
mRna vaccine
Use mRNA to make a piece of the coronavirus spike. Will get attention of the immune system
Vector vaccine
Use another virus to carry in the genetic instructions to make spike protein
Protein subunit vaccine
Get little pieces of the target virus circulating in the system for the immune system to find and recognize
Whole, killed vaccine
Whole inactivated virus vaccines take longer to make because batches of the coronavirus must first be grown then killed using a chemical or heat, then made into a vaccine that can be injected to elicit an immune response
ADHD Drugs - Methylphenidate
(Look at table slide 5) Duration: avg. 3-5 hrs
Initial dose - 5-20 mg
Usual dosing range: 20-72mg/day
ADHD Drugs - Amphetamine based
(Look at table slide 6): Duration: 4-12 hrs
Initial dose: 2.5 mg every AM once or twice daily; to 20-30-70 mg caps
Usual dosing range: 10-40mg/30mg per day
ADHD Drugs - Nonstimulant
Intuniv (guanfacine XR)
Initial dose: 1 mg in the AM, titrate. Up to 24 hrs
Usual dosing range/max dose: Titrate
Dissolution testing
One of 5 main methods for insuring quality of tablets and capsules
(others are assay, impurities, content uniformity, and water)
T/F: Dissolution testing is the only method that can be linked to blood levels and bioavailability
True
T/F: Tablet must first disintegrate to go through with disintegration
True
The dissolution of the drug in the GI fluids must….
Occur before absorption can occur
Drugs high water solubility generally exhibit
Few formulation problems
For drugs of low water solubility the absorption rate may be…
Governed by the dissolution rate. in such cases, if dissolution occurs too slowly, absorption efficiency may suffer
