MODULE 1 Flashcards
Intended for diagnosis, cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of disease
Drug
Give the Dosage Forms:
Solid (tablet, capsule)
Semisolid (ointment, creams)
Liquids
Suspension
Emulsion
Considered as drug delivery system as it release and deliver drugs to site of action
Drug products
Designed to meet patient needs such as Palatability, Convenience, and Safety
Drug products
Examines the interrelationships of physical/chemical properties of drug
Biopharmaceutics
Rate and extent of drug absorption
Bioavailability
Measures the availability of the drug
Bioavailability
Described as the sequence of events that precedes elicitation of drugs therapeutic effect
Drug substance and Drug formulation
Drug is released from dosage form
Liberation
Where drug reached the site of action
Distribution
Results when site of action reaches or exceeds the minimum effective concentration
Pharmacodynamic response
Tiniest amount of drug that produce a pharmacologic effect
MEC
It is where the Starting dose, Maintenance dose, Dosage form, and Dosing intervals are determined
Clinical trials
Provides a scientific basis on product design and product development
Biopharmaceutics
Most important steps in manufacturing process is termed what?
Critical manufacturing variable
It involves Test apparatus and equipments and no involvement of Laboratory animals or humans.
In vitro methods
It involves humans and laboratory animals
In vivo methods
Science of kinetics of drug absorption, distribution and elimination.
Pharmacokinetics
Description of drug distribution and elimination is often termed as what?
Drug disposition
Pharmacokinetics involves 2 approaches/aspects. What are these?
Experimental aspect
Theoretical aspect
Involves development of biologic sampling techniques, analytical methods for the measurement of drugs and metabolites
Experimental aspect
Involves development of pharmacokinetics models that predicts drug disposition
Theoretical aspects
Integral part of pharmacokinetic studies
Statistics
Used for pharmacokinetic parameter estimation and data interpretation
Statistical methods
