Pharm - basics Flashcards
competitive inhibitors bind
active site
competitive inhibitors affect
potency (lower it)
non competitive inhibitors affect
efficacy (lower it)
can alter volume of distribution
liver and kidney disease
volume of distribution =
amount of drug in body/plasma drug concentration
large/charged molecules are distrubted in
the blood
small hydrophillic molecules are distributed in the
ECF
small lipophillic moclecules are distributed in
all tissues
half life =
.(07 x volume of distribution)/clearance
a drug infused at a constant rate takes how ling to reach steady state
4-5 half lives
clearance =
(rate of elimnation of drug/plasma drug concentration)
or
(volume of distribution x elimination constant)
loading dose =
target plasma concentration x (volume of distribution/bioavailability)
maintance dose =
target plasma concentration x (clearance/bioavailability)
dosage calculation that changes in renal/liver disease
maintainance dose (lower)
zero-order elimination drug examples
asprin, phenytoin, ethanol
rate of elimination is constant regardless of plasma concentration is called
zero order
rate of elimination is directly proportional to drug concentration
first order
treat OD of weak acids with
bicarb (to trap in urine)
weak acid drug ex:
phenobarbital, methotreaxate, asprin
treat OD of weak bases with
amonium cholride (traps in urine)
weak base drug ex
amphetamines
phase I metabolism results in
slightly polar slightly water souable metabolites
phase II metabolism results in
very polar, inactive metaboltes that are renally excreted
