Module 3 Flashcards
Pharmacokinetics
Coat thickness design whether release & absorption in proximal / distal bowel (Ex: dissolution in SI & release in Colon)
Enteric-coated tablet
This is focused on the nature of drugs, what are their forms, why are they designed for, and what makes them acceptable to the body when administered.
Pharmaceutical Phase
The last phase of drug p-kinetics is being converted into an inactive metabolite.
Elimination
Orally taken as supported by water. Their rate of dissolution varies.
Tablets
Indicates that there is no net influx or movement of drug across the membrane that it crosses and transport of drug in between compartment is low.
Steady state concentration of drug
Assist the diagnosis of diseases and disorders in humans and animals. Diagnostic agents may be inorganic chemicals for examining the gastrointestinal tract, organic chemicals for visualizing the circulatory system and liver and radioactive compounds for measuring the function of organ system.
Diagnostic agents
Are applied to the skin surface or topical application; doesn’t contain a drug in many cases but are used for skin care and protection
Powders, ointments, and pastes
The distribution of the drug is influenced by:
1) pH and lipid solubility
2) active transport
3) protein binding and tissue bindings
Are substances with active pharmacological properties in humans and animals. Drugs are compounded with other materials, such as pharmaceutical necessities, to produce a medicinal product.
Drugs
A type of solid drug with active compnent at the core to mask the bad tatse or odor
Enteric-coated tab
Are applied on rectal or vaginal mucosal route, respectively.
Suppositories and vaginal tablets
Capsule with coated drug pellets
Sustained release
Focused on the fate of the drug once it is taken into the body, it describes the drug molecules that is absorbed and circulating with the body, how much of the administered dose had reached the plasma, gets sequestered and eliminated from the body; what the body does to the drug is its most simple description.
Pharmacokinetics
The premature degradation of drug molecules by hepatic enzymeleading to sub-concentration of drug and does not reach effective plasma peak concentration
First-pass effect/Hepatic first-pass
What does ADME stand for?
absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion
Drugs that are not freely permeable through the cell membrane may require drug shuttles or drugs can be distributed to extracellular fluid compartment and have restricted site of action
Hydrophilic drugs
After a drug is absorbed, it is distributed into intestinal, cellular or transcellular fluids.
Distribution
Pass through GI mucosa in intestines, the site of absorption and drug solution forms in the stomach.
Absorption
What are the organs involved in ADME?
GI System, Blood, Liver and kidney respectively
Film thickness (gradual dissolution in enteral transit, variable release & absorption)
Tablet / Capsule
A more viscous liquid drug compared to solutions. The viscosity prolongs their contact time on the surface where they are intended to be applied.
Drops
The drug that has the most delayed time in enteric route
Enteric-coated tab
Contain micronized drug powder that can be sprayed onto mucosal surfaces of body cavities accessible from the outside (e.g., the respiratory tract)
Aerosol Drugs
