Q

What’s the first pass effect?

A

drugs given orally are absorbed through GI tract and carried to liver
liver metabolizes the drug BEFORE reaching the systemic circulation, large drug inactivated, leading to decrease in therapeutic effect

administer drugs via parenteral, sublingual, transdermal, etc. e.g. nitroglycerine

41
Q

time to reach plateau

A

~ 4 half lives

42
Q

3 Techniques for reducing fluctuations in drug levels

A
  1. Continuous infusion
  2. Administer a depot preparation: releases the drug slowly and steadily
  3. Reduce both the size of each dose and the dosing interval
43
Q

Maximal efficacy

A

largest effect that a drug can produce

44
Q

potency

A

amount of drug we must give to elicit an effect

45
Q

-Simple Occupancy theory

A

○ The intensity of the response is proportional to number of receptors occupied by the drug
○ Max response occur when all receptors occupied
○ Cannot explain potency difference

46
Q

-Modified occupancy theory

A

○ Affinity: explains potency
○ Intrinsic activity: explains maximal efficacy

47
Q

two types of antagonist and there differences

A

Noncompetitive: irreversible bind
Competitive: reversible bind
