Pharmacology exam one Flashcards
pharmacology
the study of drugs on biological systems
clinical pharmacology
application of pharmalogical principles to clinical patients
veterinary clinical pharmacology
the use of pharmacological principles to treat animals
comparative pharmacology
the study of drugs in different species
evidence based veterinary clinical pharmacology
pharmacological principles based on research and clinical data
drug
any substance that can effect a biological system
pharmacodynamics
what the drug does to the animal
pharmacokinetics
what the animal does to the drug - movement of the drug through the body ADME
pharmacy
the science of the preparation of drugs
toxocology
the study of poisons
natural drug sources
mineral, virus, fungi, bacteria, plant, animal
semisynthetic
from natural sources then chemically treated
synthetic
compound completely manufactured in the lab
summation
?
synergism
?
antagonism
one drug inhibits the effect of the other drug
drug disposition
the study of movement of drugs across a biological membrane in body from time of absorption through elimination - ADME
transmembrane movement
diffusion through lipid membranes and aqueous protein channels in the cell membrane - bulk flow from osmotic differences
paracellular movement
diffusion through intercellular aqueous channels
passive diffusion
movement with a [] gradient move from high to low
drug absorption
movement of the drug from site of administration into the blood
enteral routes of administration
oral, sublingual, rectal (via gut)
parenteral routes of administration
IV, IM, SQ, IP (via injection)
Other routes of administration
topical, inhalation, epidural
drug distribution
transfer of drugs from the bloodstream to tissues around the body
drug metabolism
chemical alteration of the drug by different body tissues
bioinactivation
most drugs - do not need to be metabolized to have an effect
bioactivation
must be metabolized to have an effect
phase I reactions
oxidative, reductive, hydrolitic
glucuronide
NOT cats
