Q

where is the rate of absorption slowest

A

rectum

40
Q

Explain how tetracycline absorption an be inhibited

A

-tetracycline is an oral antibiotics
-when administered with dairy products, divalent, trivalent ions result in “chelation”, which means that the drug remains in the stomach and does NOT get absorbed. The blood level of the drug is decreased so you do not get the physiological effect of the drug.

41
Q

Trabinafine

A

-antifungal
-Food may enhance absorption ie oral antifungal drugs

42
Q

what drug is commonly use to treat lyme disease

A

doxycycline

43
Q

Enteral

A

oral

44
Q

parental

A

any route other than oral

45
Q

What is the 1st and 2nd fastest route for absorption into the systemic circulation

A

1- iv
2-sublingual

46
Q

describe first pass effect

A

The metabolism of a drug and its passage from the liver into the circulation.

-NOT all drugs go through the first pass effect
-drug given IV bypasses the liver, preventing the first-pass effect from taking place, and more drug reaches the circulation.

47
Q

Describe the sublingual absorption

A

-Venous drainage from the mouth is to superior vena cava bypasses portal circulation and first pass effect
-ex: Nitroglycerin (drug used to treat chest pain), nonioinic, high lipid solubility
-Isosorbide Dinitrate
-Isoproterenol
-Ergot Alkaloids

48
Q

Lidocaine and epinepherine

A
  • an example of how the effectiviness of a drug is altered by the use of another drug
    -the purpose of using epineherine is to keep lidocaine in the area longer
    this method can have a negative effect with those with poor circulation because the epineherine would further decrease the blood flow at the area causing ischemia and gangrene
49
Q

Describe first order kinetics of elimination

A

-Plasma concentration decreases
EXPONENTIALLY with time
-Rate of elimination is proportional to drug concentration
-Rate of elimination is dependent on concentration; Drugs: “all”drugs
-Constant fraction of drug eliminated per unit time.
-MOST DRUG ARE FIRST ORDER

50
Q

Describe zero order kinetics of elimination

A

-Rate of elimination is constant regardless of concentration
-Plasma concentration decreases LINEARLY with time
-Rate of elimination is independent of concentration
-Constant amount of drug eliminated per unit time
-Drugs: ASA at high toxic concentrations, phenytoin, ethanol

51
Q

What is distribution

A

The transport of a drug in the body by the bloodstream to its site of action.
-Protein-binding=protein binding to the protein
-Drugs “gravitate toward opposite”= drug goes towards opposite ph
-

52
Q

what important protein found in the blood that drugs ofter bind to

A

albumin

53
Q

Example of drug that is highly protein bound

A

-warfarin (anti coagulant)
-Aminodarone (antiarrthymic)
-Fluoxetine (anti depressant)

54
Q

Drug-Drug Interactions

A

-occurs in distribution phase when the drug is in the systemic circulation
-IMPORTANT EXAMPLE:
Aspirin kicks kicks off warfarin off of the protein binding site, so aspirin binds to receptor site and causes increase in its physiological effect (anti coagulant) so the patient would need blood
NEVER TAKE ASPIRIN WHILE TAKING WARFARIN

55
Q

What happens when drugs bind to protein, ex: albumin

A

-becomes biologically inactive
-the free drug in the blood is biologically active

56
Q

under what conditions can water soluble drug cross the BBB

A

when patient has meingitis because the BBB is compromised
(BBB normally allow lipid soluble drugs to cross- like eevry other membrane)`

57
Q

First generation antihistamine

A

diphenhydramine is non ionized
-(pKa 9.0) cause CNS depression and sedation, drug has tertiary amino group that makes drug very lipohilic and therefore unionized, crosses BBB

58
Q

Second generation antihistamine

A

Loratadine is ionized
-achieve far lower brain concentrations and therefore are non sedating

59
Q

Placental Transfer of Drugs

A

Fetal plasma is highly more acidic than that of the mother (pH 7.0-7.2 versus 7.4) so ion trapping of basic drugs occurs, remember drug does towards the opposite pH, so basic drug goes towards acidic environment

60
Q

define volume of distribution

A

used to quantify the distribution of a drug between plasma and the rest of the body after oral or parenteral dosing

-amount of drug in body/ concentration of drug in the blood

-It is better to have larger vd because the drug has longer duration of action.

Small vd= drug retained inside plasma
large vd= drug retained outside plasma

61
Q

Where are drug metabolized

A

liver

62
Q

Metabolism phase

A

-Phase 1 Metabolism CYP2C9 and CYP2C19
-Phase 2 uridine diphosphate- glucuronosytransferase (UGT)=renders drug wategr soluble
-Metabolism by phase 1 and phase 2 result in a highly water soluble compound
-Metabolism also terminates biologic activity
-Conjugates are hydrophilic and eliminate in the bile or urine

63
Q

Metabolism Enzyme Induction important example

A

Barbiturates ie Phenobarbital-
barbiturate taken with birth control can have altered affects because the barbiturate is an enzyme inducer so it increases the metabolism rate of the liver. Therefore, the rate of clearing of the birth control is increased. If the plasma level of the birth control is below the therapeutic level, the person is NOT protect and could get pregnant

64
Q

Metabolism Enzyme inhibition example

A

Erthtomyocin taken with drug A will cause decrease metabolism of Drug A so there will be an increase in the plasma concentration of drug A which can lead to toxicity

65
Q

examples of enzyme inducers

A

 Phenobarbital
 Nicotine
 Rifampin
 Phenytoin
 Carbamazepine

A

Glucronidation
Sulfation
Acetylation
(O,N, and S)Methylation
Glutathionylation

74
Q

what is a prodrug

A

Pro drug means that the drug requires activation by the liver. Drug is biologicaly active when it enters the body but requires activation by liver enzymes
Example:
 Cyclophosphamide (anti-tumor drug)
 Clopidorgel (antiplatelet drug)
 Chloral Hydrate

75
Q

what is the main organ of excretion

A

kidney

76
Q

explain difference in Thiazides diuretics and loop diuretics

A

They both have the same function but operate at different part of the kidney

Thiazides=distal
loop=loop of Henle

-Loop diuretics is more potent than thiazides diuretics because 15% of reabsorption occur at loop of Helne(asceding) while only 5% occur at distal tubule

77
Q

what is required for reabsorption to occur

A

drugs must be unionized in the lipid soluble form, will go to back into blood stream into systemic circulation

78
Q

what is required for excretion to occur

A

drugs will be ionized, therefore unable to pass membrane, stay in tubule and be excreted in urine

79
Q

Secretion

A

Active movement of drug from systemic circulation into early distal tubule

 Hyperuricemia: Probenecid actively binds to uric acid and secretion occurs at early distal tubule
 Penicillin: actively is secreted at early distal tubule therefore difficult to attain blood levels
 Probenecid and Penicillin effect, Probenecoid is a uricosuric agent that takes uric acid at the same place as penicillin and promotes the excretion of the uric acid.
The purpose is keep penicillin in the blood longer

80
Q

phenobarital

A

-enzyme inducer
-barbiturate
-treats epilespsy

81
Q

if you overdose on ASA, what is the treatment

A

Sodium Bicarbonate.
using a basic treatment alters the urine to become more basic, this causes the acid drug to ionized so it remain in the tubule and will be excreted via urine, remember the drug go towards the opposite, so the acid drug will go towards the basic drug

82
Q

Barbiturate (sodium phenobarbital) overdose, what is the treatment

A

Sodium Bicarbonate

83
Q

Quinidine Sulfate overdose, what is the treatment

A

Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) or ammonium chloride

84
Q

Quinidine Sulfate

A

this drug has sulfate attached which means it is a weak base.
To get rid of the drug you need to acidify the urine.

85
Q

sodium phenobarbital

A

has sodium attached to the name so its a weak acid

to get rid of the drug you would have to alkaline the drug

86
Q

Enterohepatic Cycling

A

DRUG IS NOT WATER SOLUBLE ENOUGH TO BE ELIMINATED AND THEREFORE PRESENTS BACK TO LIVER FOR FURTHER CHEMICAL REACTIONS IE DIGOXIN, PREDNISONE

87
Q

how many life lives to achieve steady state

A

4

88
Q

how many half lives to remove drug from body

A

5

of a drug in the body to be removed.

 A measure of the rate at which drugs are removed from the body.

90
Q

what is needed for metabolism of succinyl choline

A

Pseudocholinesterase: needed for metabolism of succinyl choline ( causes skeletal muscle relaxation). Deficiency of enzyme results in skeletal muscle paralysis

-succinyl choline is given during anathesia

91
Q

what enzyme is deficient in Af. American that causes hemolytic anemia with antimalarial drugs

A

Glucose 6 phosphate dehydorgenase deficiency

92
