Q

Mention the four pharmacokinetic parameters :

A

• Absorption: First, absorption from the site of administration permits entry of the drug (either directly or indirectly) into plasma.
• Distribution: Second, the drug may then reversibly leave the bloodstream and distribute into the interstitial and intracellular fluids.
• Metabolism: Third, the drug may be bio-transformed by metabolism by the liver or other tissues.
• Elimination: Finally, the drug and its metabolites are eliminated from the body in urine, bile, or feces.

Q

Give me the features of Passive Diffusion

A

✔ The driving force is the concentration gradient
✔ Does not involve a carrier, is not saturable, and shows a low structural specificity.
✔ Water-soluble drugs: aqueous channels or pores

Q

Give me the features of facilitated Diffusion :

A

• Enter molecules into the interior of cells and moving them from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration.
• Molecules enter the cell through specialized transmembrane carrier proteins that facilitate the passage of large molecules (conformational changes)
• It does not require energy, can be saturated,
•May be inhibited by compounds that compete for the carrier

26
Q

measure of the strength of the interaction of a compound with a proton is called ?

30
Q

The intestines receive less blood flow than the stomach, so absorption from the stomach is favoured over the intestine .

A

F—> (The intestines receive much more blood flow than the stomach, so absorption from the intestine is favoured over the stomach).💀

31
Q

Some disease conditions alter blood flow to some organs and subsequently drug absorption . Give me example to explain this statement:

A

Shock severely reduces blood flow to cutaneous tissues, thereby minimizing absorption from SC (subcutaneous) administration

A

The intestine have a surface rich in brush borders which containing microvilli .

Q

they have the same dosage form, contain the same active ingredient, and use the same route of administration . This statement describe related to ?

A

pharmaceutically equivalent

58
Q

Define the therapeutic equivalence .

Q

The clinical effectiveness of therapeutic equivalence is ?

A

maximum serum drug concentration (Cmax) and the time required (after administration) to reach peak concentration (Tmax).
