30
Q

high Vd distribution and drug types that cause this

A

all tissues - small lipophilic molecules (especially if bound to tissue protein)

31
Q

the time req to change the amount of drug in body by 1/2 during elimination or constant infusion

A

half-life (t 1/2)

32
Q

property of first-order elimination

A

t 1/2

33
Q

drug infused at constant rate takes how long to reach steady state

A

4-5 t 1/2

34
Q

t 1/2 equation

A

t 1/2 = (.7 x Vd) / Cl

35
Q

of half lives –> % remaining

A

1 half life –> 50%
2 half life –> 25%
3 half life –> 12.5%
4 half life –> 6.25%

36
Q

clearance equation

A

rate of elimination of drug/plasma drug concentration = Vd x Ke (elimination constant)

37
Q

clearance may be impaired with what

A

renal, cardiac or hepatic failure

38
Q

loading dose

A

Cp x Vd/F

39
Q

maintenance dose

A

Cp x CL/F

40
Q

Cp

A

target plasma concentration

41
Q

renal/liver disease

A

maintenance dose decreases (loading dose unchanged)

42
Q

time to steady state

A

depends on t 1/2 - independent of dosing freq or size

43
Q

zero order elimination

A

rate of elimination is constant regardless of Cp

constant AMOUNT of drug eliminated per unit time

44
Q

A

PEA - phenytoin, ethanol and aspirin(high)

45
Q

capacity limited elimination

A

zero-order kinetics

46
Q

first order elimination

A

rate of elimination is directly proportional to drug concentration - constant FRACTION of drug eliminated per time

47
Q

how does Cp decrease with time in zero order vs. first order

A

zero order = linearly

first order = exponentially

48
Q

flow-dependent elimination

A

first-order kinetics

49
Q

A

ionized - trapped in urine (pee out)

neutral - can be reabsorbed

A

trapped in acidic env
tx overdose w/ ammonium chloride
EX: amphetamines

52
Q

phase I of drug metabolism

A

53
Q

phase II of drug metabolism

A

conjugation (glucuronidatoin, acetylation, sulfation) –>very polar, inactive metabolites (pee out)

54
Q

which phase do geriatric patients lose first

A

phase I
