ALTERATIONS IN ADME
*MAIN CAUSES INCLUDE
(4)
*AGE
*GENETIC FACTORS
*END-ORGAN DAMAGE
*DRUG INTERACTIONS
TYPES OF VARIABILITY
(3)
- PHARMACOKINETIC
- PHARMACODYNAMIC
- IDIOSYNCRATIC
IDIOSYNCRATIC
(3)
- OCCUR IN A SMALL MINORITY OF PATIENTS
- SOMETIMES WITH LOW OR NORMAL DOSES
- POORLY UNDERSTOOD
PHARMACODYNAMIC INTERACTION
*INTERACTION BETWEEN 2 OR
MORE DRUGS THAT LEADS TO
(2)
- ACCENTUATION/SYNERGISM
- ATTENUATION/ANTAGONISM
DON’T DIRECTLY INVOLVE
ABSORPTION, DISTRIBUTION,
METABOLISM, OR EXCRETION
PHARMACOKINETIC INTERACTION
* INTERACTION THAT CHANGES THE BASIC
KINETIC PROPERTIES
* ABSORPTION
* DISTRIBUTION
* METABOLISM
* ELIMINATION
- EXAMPLE: WARFARIN + SULFAMETHOXAZOLE

THE UP SIDE – DENTAL DRUGS

Primarily single-dose or short term Tx
Large margin of safety
Extensive history of use
*PHARMACOKINETICS
*WHAT THE BODY DOES TO THE
DRUG
*PHARMACODYNAMICS
*WHAT THE DRUG DOES TO THE
BODY
HOW WE USE KINETICS
* IMPORTANT IN
DRUG DEVELOPMENT AND CLINICAL
TESTING, NEEDED TO DETERMINE OPTIMAL DOSE
KINETICS
IMPORTANT IN THE CLINICAL SETTING
(5)
- TOXICOLOGY
- THERAPEUTIC MONITORING (CLINICAL EFFECT, LABS)
- DRUG INTERACTIONS
- DOSE ADJUSTMENTS
- EFFECT OF ILLNESS, ORGAN DYSFUNCTION
KINETICS
* TIME COURSE OF DRUG CONCENTRATION
DEPENDS ON
ADME
KINETICS FOCUSES ON CONCENTRATIONS
OF DRUG IN PLASMA
* CAN USE KINETICS TO CALCULATE
PRECISE
DOSES TO ACHIEVE A PRECISE
CONCENTRATION
PLASMA CONCENTRATION = CP
* GOAL IS TO GET CP WITHIN A
THERAPEUTIC
WINDOW IN ORDER TO ELICIT APPROPRIATE
RESPONSE WITHOUT CAUSING TOXICITY
MTC VS MEC
- MINIMUM TOXIC CONCENTRATION
- MINIMUM EFFECTIVE CONCENTRATION
