Pharmacodynamics Notes Flashcards
The relationship between the concentration of a drug and the observed effect can be represented graphically as
Hyperbolic curve
The response against the logarithm of the drug concentration transforms the D-R curve to a
Sigmoidal curve
Drugs with similar MOA have
parallel curves
Graded DRC relates does to
intensity of effect
Quantal DRC relates does to
Frequency of effect
All-or-none pharmacological effect is a feature of
Quantal Dose Response curve
Fentanyl is a highly potent drug T/F
T
Meperidine is a highly potent drug T/F
F
