Q

Drugs usually work in one of four ways: RIDI

A
  1. To replace as substitutes for
    missing chemicals
  2. To increase certain
    cellular activities
  3. To depress cellular
    activities
  4. To interfere with functioning of foreign
    cells, such as invading
    microorganisms or neoplasms leading
    to cell death

29
Q

Major process through which drugs are absorbed into the body

Passive diffusion

30
Q

Occurs across a concentration gradient

A

Passive diffusion

31
Q

Movement from an area of greater concentration to lower concentration

A

Passive Diffusion

32
Q

Process that uses energy to actively move a molecule across a cell membrane

A

Active Transport

33
Q

Involves movement through pores in the cell membrane either down a concentration
gradient or as a result of the pull of plasmaproteins

A

filtration

34
Q

What is the primary function of plasma proteins in the process of filtration?

A

maintain oncotic pressure

35
Q

Route of Absorption

36
Q

Involves the movement of a drug to the body’s
tissues

A

DISTRIBUTION

37
Q

Factors that affect drug distribution:

A
  • Drug’s lipid solubility and ionization
  • Perfusion of the reactive tissue
38
Q

Most drugs are bound to some extent to proteins in the blood
to be carried to the circulation.

A

Protein Binding

39
Q

Is a protective system of cellular activity that keeps
many things away from the CNS.

A

BLOOD BRAIN BARRIER

brain barrier?

A

highly lipid soluble

Many drugs pass through the
_______ and affect the
developing fetus in pregnant
women

Placenta and Breast Milk

42
Q

The process by which drugs are changed
into new, less active chemicals

43
Q

Drugs that are taken orally are usually absorbed from the ______ directly into the ______ system.

A

small intestine, portal venous system

44

The portal veins deliver these absorbed molecules into the _____, which immediately transforms most of the chemicals delivered to it by a _______.

A

liver, series of liver enzymes

45
Q

what do u call this effect when drugs that are taken orally are usually absorbed from the small
intestine directly into the portal venous system. The portal veins
deliver these absorbed molecules into the liver, which immediately
transforms most of the chemicals delivered to it by a series of liver
enzymes.

Q

administration of a particular drug may alter results of tests that are done on various chemical levels or reactions as part of a diagnostic study

A

Drug to Laboratory Test Interaction

55
Q

A

Drug to Food Interaction

56
Q

All drugs are potentially dangerous. Even though chemicals are carefully screened and tested in animals and in people before they are approved for sale, drug products often cause unexpected or unacceptable reactions when they are administered. Drugs are chemicals, and the human body operates by a vast series of chemical reactions.

A

TOXIC EFFECTS OF DRUGS

57
Q

Are undesired effects that may be unpleasant or even dangerous.

A

Adverse Effect

58
Q

Development of adverse reaction from
simple overdose which can be caused
by individual response to the drug, high
or low body weight, age or underlying
pathology that alters the effects of the
drug

A

Primary Action

59
Q

Effects of the drug in addition to the
desired pharmacological effect

A

Secondary Action

60
Q

Excessively responsive to either the
primary or the secondary effects of a
drug. It may result from pathological
or underlying condition

A

Hypersensitivity

61
Q

Occurs when the body forms antibodies to a particular drug,
causing an immune response when the person is re exposed to
the drug

A

Drug Allergy

62
Q

Four Classification of Drug Allergy: ACSD

A
  1. Anaphylactic
    reactions
  2. Cytotoxic reactions
