Pharmacology And Anesthesiology Flashcards
Concerned with the effects of the drugs and the mechanism of acrion
Pharmacodynamics
Concerned with the movement of drugs within the body
Pharmakokinetics
Study of drugs’ harmful effect
Toxicology
Prevents orally taken drugs toxicity
Activated charcoal
Induces vomiting
Syrup of ipecac
It is the accumulation of drugs that cant be eliminated un the body
Cumulatiom
Drugs cotnraindicated for glaucoma
Diazepam, anti cholinergic
What is the most allergenic drug
Penecillin
Group of drugs Safe for pregnancy
Local anes, analgesics and sedative hypnotics
Study of damage to fetus during development
Teratology
Study of drug dosage
Posology
Most comkom and the easiest to administer
Oral route
Suppositories and enema
Rectal route
Routenin which bypasses the membrane
Parenteral route
Intravenous angulation
35-40 degrees
Intramuscular injection angulation
90 degrees
Intradermal injections angulation
0-15 degrees
Subcutaneous injection angulation
45 degrees
Intrathecal injection
Between 3rd and 4th lumbar vertebrae
Fastest route in which the target site is the brain
Inhalation
In terms of ph levels drugs must be..
Weak acids and weak bases
Amount of drug that teaches the circulatory system after administration
Bioabavailability
Bioavailability is influenced by
Drug solubility, route and first pass effect
According to solubility drugs must be..
Slightly hydrophilic and largely hydrophobic
Very hydrophilic drugs are..
Unable to cross the phospholipid bilayer
Drugs that are purely hydrophobic are most likely..
Unable to be absorbed due to insolubility in aquaeus fluids
Ability of drug to move from circulatory system into the target sites
Distribution
Free floating drug
Free ionized drug
Drugs bound to plasma protein
Bound drugs
Tendency of substanves to separate or dissociate from its bindig
Dissociation constant
Liver enzymes which helos in drug and compound metabolism
Miscromomal enzymes
Non microsomal enzymes
Example of micromal enzymes in liver
Cytrochrome P450
Drugs metabolized in liver are
Amide local anesthetics
Most drugs
Plasma enzyme
Plasma Pseudochokinesterase
Drugs metabolised in plasma
Ester Local Anesthetics
Succinylcholine
Major organ for excretion of drugs
Kidney
Site of excression for nitrous oxide
Lungs
Drugs excreted in breast milk
Alchohol, cafffeine, cocaine and nicotine
The time required for a drig to reduce half of its initial value
Half life
Rate at which the active drug is removed from the body
Clearance
Amount of drugs eliminated is constant and is not dependent on the concentration of drug plasma
Zero order kinetics
Drugs with zero order kinetics
Alchohol, phenytion, aspirin
Amount of drug eliminated is dependent on tje concentration of drug in plasma fluid
First order kinetics
Dosage of drugs needed to produce an effect
Potency
Refers to the effect of the drug
Efficacy
Maximum effect of drug where no effect is added even though drug dose is increased
Maximal effect
Refers to how well the drug can be used in the real world
Effectiveness
Dose response curve thay describes the degree of respons eof a single biological unit to a given drug dose
Graded Dose-effect curve
Curve that describes relationship between the increasing drug dosage and the percentage of the population that shows the drugs pharmacologic and lethal effects
Quantal Dose-effect curve
Detects the margin of safety of a drug by conparing the therapeutic and toxic dose
Qunatal-dose effect curve
Targets of drug action
Receptors
Enzymes
Ability of drugs to bund to its target site
Affinity
