Pharmacokinetics - Wolff Flashcards
4 pharmacokinetics
Absorption
Distribution
Metabolism
Excretion
3 Pharmacodynamics types
- Drug- receptor interactions
- Patient’s functional state
- Placebo effects
4 things that can cause pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics
Physiological variables
Pathological variables
Genetics
Drug interactions
Medication error is reported where
To the NCCMERP (national coordination council for medical error report ion and prevention
What are the 4 basic pharmacokinetic processes
A : absorption (GI, intramuscular)
D : distribution (site of action and other places like liver and kidney)
M : metabolism (liver and kidney)
E : excretion
What effects absorption
- rate of dissolution of tablet
- SA of tablet
- BF
- lipid solubility
- pH partitioning
Enteral
Rectal
Oral
Sublingual
Parenteral
Intravenous
Intramuscular
Subcutaneous
Inhalation con
Variable distribution
Drug going TO cell mechanisms of transport
- Simple diffusion (direct penetration of cell membrane)
2. Unimportant carrier / channel (facilitated diffusion)
Drug going OUT of cell mechanisms of transport
Active transport (energy in and drug out) EX: p-glycoproteins and MDR1
NR4 drug structure , quaternary ammonium
Has a net positive charge and can’t cross membrane
COPD
Amino glycecydes
Cant cross membrane and positive charge
Weak acid can cross the membrane of cells when
In its UNIONIZED form = (In the stomach its very acidic and can cross membrane)
(Cant cross in basic environments)
Weak base can cross the membrane of cells when
In its unionized form which happens in more basic environments (not in the stomach)
When you eat a lot f an acidic drug what happens to the urine
A lot of the H+ get donated to the NH3, and becomes NH4+, = basic
Ka
Rate constant for absorption
S
Salt factor , less than or equal to 1 always
Every drug is in salt form, with some parent compound amount in it
F
Bioavailability fraction of drug that reaches bloodstream , also less than or equal to 1
= Area under Curve (route used)/ AUC (intravenous route)
Amount absorbed
S x F x Dose
Bioavailability is always =
< or = to 1
Concentration of drug in plasma is calculated how
Cp= (SxFxDose)/Vd
S : 1 * if not given
F : 1 *if not given
Vd : volume of distribution
Vd is calculated how
Amount of Drug in Body/ Plasma Concentration
ECV is calculated how (extracellular volume)
1/3 x TBW (total body water)= ECV
EVC x 0.25 = plasma volume
