41
Q

What is a Full Agonist?

A

Full agonist the drug binds to the active conformation of receptor until all receptors are occupied producing maximum effect.

42
Q

A drug that has an equal affinity for the active and inactive receptor. It is therefore unable to activate all the receptors and only a partial effect is observed

43
Q

What is a Partial Agonist?

A

A drug that has an equal affinity for the active and inactive receptor. It is therefore unable to activate all the receptors and only a partial effect is observed

51
Q

A

Non-competitive antagonist drugs bind to receptors at non-active site

52
Q

What happens to enzymes/receptors when non-competitive antagonist drugs bind to receptors?

A

The enzymes/receptors are not able to be activated by the agonist.

53
Q

What is the purpose of Allosteric sites on receptors?

A

Allosteric sites on receptors affect the manner in which the receptor behaves by enhancing or diminishing the effect of other drugs.

54
Q

When does antagonism occurs?

A

When the combined effect of two drugs is less than the sum of their individual effects.

55
Q

What is Physiological or functional antagonism?

A

Two drugs that act on different receptors and antagonize the actions of each other.

56
Q

When does a Pharmacodynamic interaction occur?

A

When two or more drugs are given concomitantly.

57
Q

What is an Additive interaction?

A

When the combined effect of two drugs equals the sum of their individual effects.

58
Q

When does Synergy occurs?

A

When two drugs are combined in therapy and produce a pharmacologic effect greater than the sum of their individual effects.

59
Q

Mention 4 examples of basic drug actions divided into broad categories.

A

Stimulation (epinephrine), Depression (benzodiazepines), Replacement (insulin), Cytotoxic (antibiotics/chemo agents)

60
Q

A

Antacids, laxatives, and mannitol.

61
Q

PK-PD principle?

A

links pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics in order to establish and evaluate dose-concentration-response relationships and subsequently describe and predict the effect-time courses resulting from a drug dose.

62
Q

Differences between anesthesia and other specialties?

A

?

63
Q

Ideal anesthetic drug would?

A

would induce anesthesia smoothly and rap
idly while allowing for prompt recovery after its administration is discontinued. The drug would also possess a wide margin of safety and be devoid of adverse effects.

64
Q

what is graded response?

A

Response to a drug dose is gradual and constant. It depends on the amount of drug, as the Concentration increases so does the effect (it also includes adverse effects).

65
Q

what is the Law of mass action?

A

when a drug combines with a receptor, it does so at a rate which is dependent on the concentration of the drug and of the receptor

66
Q

what is tolerance?

A

the ability of the body to metabolize drugs faster after prolonged exposure

67
Q

what is desensitization?

A

Desensitization refers to a change in the responsiveness of the receptor after prolonged exposure. The receptors are still present but do not respond to the drug. The reason for this is varied but in some cases may be due to secondary messenger exhaustion

68
Q

what is tachyphillaxis?

A

rapidly diminishing response to successive doses of a drug, rendering it less effective.(acute response)

69
Q

Dosing for obesity

A

Drug dependent. For example propofol dosing for bolus is based on ideal body weight but for infusions it should be based on total body weight

70
Q

how do you dose midazolam and ketamine on obese patients?

A

Bolus doses should be based on total body weight, infusions should be dosed on IBW

71

Q

Concentration versus response relationship is known as

A

Potency

74
Q

85
Q

Apparent volume into which the drug is dissolved

A

Volume of distribution

86
Q

What is the relationship between the volume of distribution and half life?
