63
Q

Drug used for exacerbations in UC

A

Sulfasalazine (anti-inflam; 5-ASA)

64
Q

Which has more side effects Sulfasalazine or Olsalazine and why?

A

Sulfasalazine b/c one of the is metabolites Sulfapyridine which produces all the SE –> olsalazine doesn’t have this metabolite`

65

68
Q
As you age, higher or lower VD:
Hyrdrophilic drugs?
Drugs that bind to muscle?
Hydrophobic drugs? (ex?)
Drugs that bind to protein? (ex's?)
A

lower VD b/c lower body water
Lower VD b/c lower lean body mass
Higher VD b/c increased fat stores (ex. diazepam)
Higher percentage of drug unbound (active) b/c decreased plasma protein (albumin) –> warfarin, barbiturates, phenytoin, carbemexapine

69
Q

Drugs metabolized by phase 1 or phase 2 metabolism preferred in older patients?

A

In general phase 2 pathway. This pathway convert drugs to inactive metabolites that do not accumulate. Phase 1 sometimes converts to more active drug or less active compound, however still active so effects are harder to predict. (therefore don’t like benzo b/c metabolite from phase 1 reaction last a long time)

70
Q

Does serum creatinine reflect GFR/ creatinine clearance in older patients?

A

no, b/c older patients have lower lean muscle mass and therefore lower creatinine production –> but w/ decreased GFR it may appear to be a normal amount in serum.

71
Q

Drug-drug interactions in older adults:

  1. benzo + ? = sedation and falls
  2. CCB + diuretic = ?
  3. Digitalis + ? = bradycardia or arrhythmia
  4. ACE I + diuretic = ?
A
  1. antidepressents or antipyschotics
  2. hyoptension and orthostasis
  3. anti-arrhythmic
  4. hyoptension and hypokalemia
72
Q

which effect goes away faster: inhibitors of p450 or inducers? why?

A

inhibitors - they are simply sitting on the site of action of p450 and therefore once the drug goes through its half life (or four half lifes for the whole drug concentration to clear) the effect will dissappear.

73
Q

MOA of inducers of p450

A

inducers turn on transcription factors that upregulate p450. Therefore there is a lag time before the effect occurs. In addition, that also means it takes longer for the effect to go away –> for the transcription factors to down regulate.

INCREASE THE ACTUAL AMOUNT OF THE p450 ENZYME

74
Q

p450 is involved in what type of drug metabolism in the liver?

A

phase 1, oxidizes drugs. makes hydrophobic drugs more hydrophilic for excretion in urine. Also can activate drugs if it is a prodrug.

75
Q

Def: Pharmacodynamics

A

biochem and physiolgical effects of drugs on the body. Relationship between drug concentration and effect. Ex. drug-drug interactions through RECEPTORS of action directly.

76
Q

Def: Pharmokinetics

A

what the body does to the drug. Absorption, distribution, chemical changes (metabolism) and excretion of the drug. This is the place were p450 enzyme comes in.

77
Q

Drug used as colonoscopy prep?

A

Magnesium citrate is the drug most often used. Osmotic cathartic agents are the drugs used to clean the G.I. tract before colonoscopy exams.

78
Q

Bisacodyl is a

A

stimulant cathartic.

79
Q

Can you use a suicide inhibitor for strep pneumo?

A

NO! b/c its resistance is based on a PBP change (2b) and therefore an inhibitor of beta lactamse will not help
