Pharmacology in D&D Exam 1 Flashcards
what suppresses production of toxic metabolites
Ethanol and Fomepizole both suppress alcohol dehydrogenase
Factors that influence Distribution
Vd
Cimetidine (inducer or inhibitor?)
inhibitor
Age changes in Phase 1 vs 2
1/3 decrease in phase 1; minimal in 2
Phnobarbital (inducer or inhibitor?)
Inducer
Inhibitiors_
decrease clearance to lead to higher Cp
pH< pKa
Protonized form : HA and BH+
Azole Antifungals (inducer or inhibitor?)
inhibitor
Oxidation (phase 1 or 2?)
Phase 1
Half life
constant fraction of drug is eliminated per time; independent of amount of drug present
Methanol Poisoning
Alcohol dehydrogenase promotes formaldehyde and formic acid in overdose, leads to severe acidosis and retinal damage
Phase 4 drug testing
post marketing surveillance
Protein binding and metabolid degradation
hinders to decrease elimination and prolong half life and drug action
Correction of metabolic acidosis
NaHCO3
Maximal Efficacy
relationship between receptor binding and ability to initate response.
Treatment of acetaminophen toxicity
Gastric lavage, supportiv therapy, plus N-acetylcystein
Genetic polymorphisms in Phase 1 vs 2 metabolism
significant in both
Clinical implications of inducers
1) reduced therapeutic effect 2) production of pharmacokinetic tolerance 3) increased toxicity if activation is accelerated or toxic metabolite is produced
Vd=
amoutn of drug in body/Cp
Schedule 5
med use: yes; lowest abuse and phsiologicand psychologic dependence;
How to inhibit toxication or enahance detox?
administer antidote to react with toxin or speed up metabolism
Passive Reabsorption
From tubule back into blood; 1 ml/min; depends on concentraiton gradient and lipophilic drugs.
Zero order Kinetics
contant amount of drug is elimianted per time
Schedule 3
Medical use: moderate abuse and physiologic dependence; high psychologic dependence
