Q

Altered drug protein binding

A

High Vd more in tissue longer t1/2

Low Vd more protein binding and possible displacement DDI

Albumin binds acidic drugs
1-gp binds basic drugs
Lipoproteins binds neutral

Ka binding coefficient

Pharmacological effect correlates with unbound concentration

High clearance drug displacement increases Fu and risk of excessive effects. Clearance is the same

Don’t make dose changes on low clearance drugs. Unbound is same

Caution phenytoin, warfarin

27
Q

Geriatric changes

A

Old Depends on body function not age

Gastric pH more basic (ketoconazole requires acid environment)
Less microvilli, surface area
More body fat, increase Vd and half life of lipophilic drugs
Liver blood flow is reduced (less first pass, more bioavailability)
Decline GFR

PD: impaired receptor sensitivity and homeostasis
