Midterm 1 Flashcards
What is Biopharmaceutics?
Physical and chemical properties of a drug in a dose form and the pharmacologic response after administration
What factors determine Biopharmaceutics?
- Chemical nature
- Physical state
- Dosage form
- Excipients
- pharmaceutical process
Pharmacokinetics is?
Study of ADME and the intensity and time of therapy and adverse effects
Bioavailability is?
rate and extent that a drug is absorbed into the body or site of action
Clinical pharmacokinetics is?
application in pharmacokinetics to individually optimize dosing based on PT disease states
Pharmacodynamics is?
Relationship btw drug concentration at site of actinon and the response to the body
Factors affecting absorption of drugs
- Age
- Blood Flow
- pH
- food
- drugs
Factors that increase rate of gastric emptying
- larger starting volume
- Solutions or suspensions empty faster
- Metoclopromide
- Aggressiveness increases
Factors that decrease rate of gastric emptying
- Anticholinergics
- Narcotic analgesics
- Ethanol
- Lying on LEFT side of body
- increase viscosity of the fluid
Factors affecting Dissolution rate
- Solubility
- Solvation
- Crystalline
- Particle size
- Complexation
Factors affecting Metabolism
- Age
- genetics
- disease state
- Drug drug interactions
- Food
- species
Factors affecting variability in drug response
- Genetics
- weight
- ethnicity
- diet
- gender
- compliance
