16
Q

Peak Effect means-

A

Point where drug is at it’s highest concentration; therapeutic effect at maximum

17
Q

Steady State means-

A

Plateau of medication. Amount taken equals amount lost by elimination

18
Q

Drugs are primarily eliminated by what?

A

Kidneys and the urine

19
Q

What is creatinine?

A

A metabolic by-product of muscle

20
Q

What makes drug accumulation possible?

A

Poor renal function

21
Q

How do you determine renal function

A

Creatinine Clearance (Renal Clearance)

22
Q

A drug with a high renal clearance level is going to go through the body faster or slower?

A

Faster

23
Q

A drug with a low renal clearance level is going to go through the body faster or slower?

A

Slower

24
Q

Does a drug with a high renal clearance require more frequent or less frequent dosing?

A

More Frequent

25
Q

Does a drug with a low renal clearance require more frequent or less frequent dosing?

A

Less Frequent

26
Q

What is pharmacokinetics?

A

How the body handles the drugs we put into it

What the body does to the drug

27
Q

What is pharmacodynamics?

A

What the drug does to the body

28
Q

What are the phases of drug activity in order?

A

Pharmaceutic phase
Pharmacokinetic phase
Pharmacodynamic phase

29
Q

What is the name of the process that occurs when the drug enters the body in one form and changes to another form so that it can get into the system and cause an action?

A

The pharmaceutic phase

30
Q

The pharmaceutic phase can only occur whenever a drug is taken via-

A

PO

31
Q

How does a drug with enteric coating differ from a drug with enteric coating?

A

A drug with enteric coating won’t dissolve in the acid of the stomach, but it will in the basic pH environment of the small intestine.
A drug with no enteric coating will dissolve in the stomach

32
Q

What is Hepatic First Pass (First Pass Effect)?

A

Situation where a PO drug doesn’t enter the systemic circulation directly, but enters the liver where it’s metabolized to an inactive form OR transformed into a drug metabolite

33
Q

What is first pass metabolism?

A

Metabolism of a drug before it reaches the systemic circulation

34
Q

Why would the morphine dosage (PO) differ from the morphine dosage (IM/SC)?

A

Bioavailability.
PO Drugs always have a bioavailability less than 100%.
IV Drugs usually have a bioavailability around 100%.

35
Q

Whenever something reaches the liver and is acted upon by liver enzymes, what are the two different things that can happen to it?

A

It can either be rendered water soluble, for excretion
OR
It can be transformed into an active metabolite

36
Q

Urine pH influences excretion.
Acidic urine promotes elimination of what kind of drugs?

A

Weak base drugs

37
Q

Urine pH influences excretion.
Alkaline urine promotes elimination of what kind of drugs?

A

Weak acidic drugs

38
Q

How is a lipid-soluble drug absorbed?

A

Passive diffusion
