drug metabolism that occurs when a drug goes through the liver soon after intestinal absorption, before reaching the systemic circulation

A

LIVER FIRST-PASS EXTRACTION

18
Q

proportion of administered drug that reaches the systemic circulation

A

BIOAVAILABITY

19
Q

total area under the curve that describes the drug plasma

Q

highest plasma concentration

A

PEAK PLASMA CONCENTRATION

23
Q

time that it takes from drug administration to reach Peak Plasma Concentration.

A

TIME TO PEAK PLASMA CONCENTRATION

24
Q

volume of plasma completely cleared of the drug in a unit of time; the cumulative result of drug removal that occurs in the liver, kidney, and other parts of the body.

A

CLEARANCE/PLASMA CLEARANCE

25
Q

is time required to bring down drug level in body by one half which is dependent on volume of
distribution and clearance.

A

HALF LIFE

26
Q

with repeated dosing some drugs accumulate, which is inversely proportional to the fraction of the dose, lost in each dosing interval.

A

DRUG ACCUMULATION

27
Q

it can be immediate, delayed or cumulative

A

DRUG EFFECT

28
Q

It studies the mechanism of a drug action and the relationship between drug concentration and effect.

A

PHARMACODYNAMICS

29
Q

TRUE OR FALSE

During absorption, drug-drug interactions are more prevalent than drug-food interactions.

A

FALSE

During absorption, drug-food interactions are more prevalent than drug-drug interactions.

30
Q

TRUE OF FALSE

Antidepressants, antipsychotics and all of the older anticonvulsants are linked to significant drug
interactions

A

FALSE

Antidepressants, antipsychotics and some of the older anticonvulsants are linked to significant drug
interactions

31
Q

TRUE OR FALSE

the risk of drug interactions increases as the number of medications the patient is taking increases.

A

TRUE

32
Q
  • secreted by the adrenal glands in response to stress or arousal
  • principal neurotransmitter of sympathetic nerve endings supplying the major organs
    and skin.
  • regulates alertness, anxiety, tension, and the ability to have positive feelings.
  • released in response to an imminent danger, resulting in an increase in heart rate, blood pressure and respiration.
  • elevated levels can lead to states of increased anxiety, and in some cases, mania.
  • low levels are implicated in depression
A

NOREPINEPHRINE

33
Q
  • a vasoconstrictor present in blood serum that is liked to the regulation of mood, anger, aggression, anxiety, appetite, learning, sleep, sexual functioning, states of consciousness and pain.
  • low levels are associated with clinical depression, OCD and anxiety disorders
A

SEROTONIN (5-HT)

34
Q
  • influences emotional behavior and cognition, and it regulates motor and endocrine activity, among other factors.
  • functions in brain include attention, mood, sociability, motivation, desire, pleasure, and learning.
  • associated with reward mechanisms in the brain. - high level can lead to psychoses
A

DOPAMINE

35
Q
  • an amino acid that is the CNS major inhibitory neurotransmitter.
  • regulation of this is associated with emotional balance, sleep patterns and anxiety.
  • low levels are associated with increased anxiety, irritability and agitation.
  • activation of this, results in decreased anxiety which can be facilitated through the use of anti-anxiety agents, as well as mood stabilizing neuromodulators
A

GABA

36
Q
  • released through the stimulation of vagus nerve, which alters heart-muscle contractility.
  • important to functional memory
A
