59
Q

refers to the amount of drug needed to elicit a specific physiologic response to a drug

60
Q

62
Q

63
Q

Drug binds to the receptor; there is response

what drug type

63
Q

Drug binds to the receptor; the response is diminished compared with that elicited by an agonist

Antagonist

65
Q

Drug competes with the agonist binding to the receptor. If it binds, there is no response

what drug type

A

Competitive antagonist
