18
Q

steps for percutaneous absorption

A

make [ ] gradient (force for drug movement across skin)
partition coefficient: release of drug from vehicle

19
Q

what are factors for rate of absorption

A

[ ] drug in vehicle, partition coefficient, diffusion coefficient, thickness of stratum corneum

20
Q

preferable characteristics of topical drugs

A

low molecular mass
adequate solubility in oils/lipids and water
high lipid: water partition coefficient

21
Q

what particles do not cross stratum corneum

A

water soluble ions and polar molecules

22
Q

what are the vehicles used for topical medications in order of most to least ability to retard evaporation from surface skin

A

ointments, creams, paste, powders, aerosols, gels, lotions, wet dressings, tinctures

23
Q

best vehicle for acute inflammation with oozing, vesiculation and crusting

A

drying preparations: tinctures, wet dressings and lotions

24
Q

best vehicle for chronic inflammation with xerosis, scaling and lichenification

A

creams and ointments

25
Q

transdermal patches are used for what

A

contraception, smoking cessation, hormone therapy, osteoporosis, hypogonadism, pain relief, motion sickness, local anesthesia and angina pectoris

26
Q

methods to hydrate skin so drug absorbed more

A

occlusion with impermeable film, application of lipophilic occlusive vehicles like ointments and soaking dry skin before occlusion

27
Q

difference of age when giving topical medications

A

children have greater SA than to mass ratio. so more systemic effects. decrease dose

28
Q

what is intralesional administration and what is main reason not to use it

A

direct contact of drug with underlying pathologic process. eliminates first pass
watch out for systemic absorption

29
Q

when do you use systemic administration of derm agents

A

systemic infections, yeast, fungus, bacteria or severe dermatological illness

30
Q

MOA bactitracin and gramicidin

A

inhibit cell wall synthesis, bind phospholipids and increase permeability of cell wall

31
Q

spectrum bacitracin and gramicidin

gram + and anaerobic cocci: neisseria, tetanus bacilli and diphteria bacilli

32
Q

MOA mupirocin

A

inhbiits protein synthesis

33
Q

spectrum mupirocin

A

gram + aerobic bacteria and MRSA

allowed for Tx impetigo

34
Q

MOA polymyxin B sulfate

A

binds phospholipids and increases permeability of cell wall membrane

35
Q

spectrum polymyxin B sulfate

A

gram - organisms: P aeruginosa, E coli, Enterobacter, Klebsiella

36
Q

Polymyxin B sulfate toxicity

A

neurotoxicity and nephrotoxicity

37
Q

MOA neomycin and gentamicin

A
