GENERAL PRINCIPLES Flashcards
Absorption
All antacids binds with drugs to reduce absorption/ increase intragastric pH (altering drugs solubulity; do not give within 2 hours of doses
T,F,I,I
tetracyclines
fluoroquinolones
itraconazole
iron
Routes of drug administration
enteral - ________
parenteral - ________
topical- __________
oral rectal
IV, IM, SC, intraperitoneal, intrathecal intra arterial
inhalation, optic, otic
site of administration to site of action
distribution
how a drug transverses the plasma membrane
examples are aqueous diffusion, lipid diffusion, special carriers, and endocytosis
permeation
_______ of drugs may markedly reduce their ability to permeate membranes
ionization
neutral molecule that can reversibly dissociate into an anion and proton
weak acid
DIstribution
factors affecting protein binding include:
A.Alpha.C,B
albumin concentration
alpha 1 acid glycoprotein
capacity limited
binding to RBCs
2PHASES
Phase __ - introduce or unmask a functional group
example: dealkylation, oxidation, reduction, hydrolysis, deamination, cytochrome p450
phase1
study of substances that interact with living system to produce an effect
pharmacology
undesirable effects of chemicals on living systems
toxicology
health economics
cost effect
pharmacoeconomics
