________ route of administration has a slower onset and longer duration of action.
Oral route of administration has a slower onset and longer duration of action.
Factors related to the drug
Route of administration
Timing of administration
Cumulation
Drug- drug interaction
Alteration of biotransformation occurs when
Enzyme inducers decrease the effects of other drugs or enzyme inhibitors increase the effect of other drugs
Reactive Drug Metabolites (RDM)
Bind to cellular macromolecules resulting in cellular damage and usually involve the immune system
Antagonism
Administration of a drug results in decrease in the pharmacological response of another drug
Thiopental tolerance when given to an animal under phenobarbital treatment is an example of
Cross tolerance
Phenobarbital is an enzyme (inducer/ihibitor)
Phenobarbital is an enzyme (inducer/ihibitor)
Drugs that act as antigens cause hypersensitivity reactions by
Antigen-Antibody reactions
Chloramphenicol is an enzyme (inducer/ihibitor)
Chloramphenicol is an enzyme (inducer/ihibitor)
Acquired tolerance can occur due to
Enzyme induction
Increased excretion
Down- regulation of receptors
Three general factors that modify drug dosage and response
Factors related to the animal
Factors related to the drug
Factors related to the environment
Alteration of excretion occurs when
Urinary alkalinizers enhance renal excretion of weak acidic drugs or when urniary acidifiers enhance excretion of weak basic drugs
Drug
Any chemical that is capable of altering biological function
Fluoroquinolones given to young patients cause
