Phamacokinetics & Pharamacodynamics Flashcards
How does body handle drug
absorption, distribution, metabolism, excreation
maximum therapeutic concentration
drug become toxic beyond that point
minimum effective conc
minimum con where drug effect is observed
pharmacodynamics
drug receptor theory- signalling- biological response
therapeutic index
TD50/ED50, range of dose at which medication is effective without unacceptable adverse effect
TD50
toxic dose 50
ED50
effective dose 50
higher TI
safer the drug
Pharmacokinetics
absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion,
need to know to identify the dosage
pharmacokinetics vs pharmacodynamics
- dose resulting in conc vs time
- effect vs conc
drug receptor theory
drug and recepetor bind to for DR complex nd cause impact on effector
resulting in response
affinity
measure of the probability that a drug molecule will interact with its receptor to form a DR complex
- both agonist and antagonise must have affinity to the receptor
efficacy
intrinsic activity
the ability of bound liganf to activate the receptor
agonist
interact with receptor and elicits a direct response
antagonist
interact with receptor without eliciting a direct response
