Q

Factors Modifying Drug Dosage and Response

Animal - Idiosyncrasy (individual sensitivity)

A

Idiosyncratic drug reactions are genetically determined unpredictable abnormal actions.

Are less common than pharmacological adverse reactions but they can be very serious.

Are not dose-dependent and require drug withdrawal.

Commonly seen as fever, urticaria, anaphylaxis, and hematological and organ toxicities.

Most are caused by reactive drug metabolites (RDMs) which bind to cellular macromolecules resulting in cellular damage and usually involve the immune system

Acquired tolerance: enzyme induction (from repeated use). Increased excretion. Down-regulation of receptors (#/sensitivity of receptors decreases).

Cross-tolerance: eg. Thiopental in an animal under phenobarbital treatment.

Tachyphylaxis: acute acquired tolerance, eg. ephedrine

Q

Factors Modifying Drug Dosage and Response

Drug - Route of Administration
