Pharmacology Flashcards
Why a drug stays trapped inside a cell?
Because it is charged (Protonation)
Therapeutic Index (TI)=
Toxic Dose (TD) / Effective Dose (ED)
Effect of a drug for the same dose
Efficacy
If it takes less dose for a drug to have the same effect, what is it called?
Potency
Phase 1 of Metabolism of drug
OH DDamm:
- Oxydation
- Hydroxylation
- Deamination
- Dechlorination

- Conjugation
- Glucoronic Acid
