pharmacokinetics I- drug administration, absortion, and distribution Flashcards
two primary routes of administration
alimentary canal to enteral administration
non-alimentary routes to paraenteral administration
enteral routes
oral and rectal
What is the most common method of enteral medications
oral
oral advantages
easy , safe, convenient
oral disadvantages
limited absorption of some drugs
change of first pass inactivation in liver
most oral medication is absorbed from
the small intestine
define first pass effect
drugs is transported into the liver via the portal vine where a large amount of the drug may be metabolized and destroyed prior to reaching the target tissue
sublingual drugs
are placed under the tongue
buccal drug
the drug is placed between the check and the gums
do the sublingual or buccal go thru first pass effect?
none
rectal drugs
via the rectum
rectal advantages
local effect on rectal tissues
rectal disadvantages
poor or incomplete absorption
parental routes
inhalation
injection
topical
trasndermal
parenteral
drug administration that does not us the Gi tract
delivers more directly to the target site
more predictable drug quantity
parenteral inhalation advantages
rapid onset
direct application fro respiratory disorders
large surface area for absorption
inhalation disadvantages
chance of tissue irriatation
parenteral injections advantages
provided more direct administration to target tissues
fast
injection disadvantages
chance of infraction is sterility is not maintained
intro arterial injection
directly into an artery
subcutaneous injection
injecting medications directly beneath the skin for locate response
the SC route can also be used when a drug needs
it be slowly dispersed from the injection site and absorbed into the bloodstream for several weeks or months
intramuscular injection
easily accessible
steady, prolonged release
repaid effect
iontophoresis and photophoresis
use the transdermal route
iontophoresis
electric current driver th ionized for of medication thru the skin
phonophoresis
uses ultrasound waves to enhance transmission of medication thru the dermis
