PHARMACOLOGY MIDTERM Flashcards
the study of what the body does to the drug.
- processes of drug undergoes as it reaches and leaves the site of action
PHARMACOKINETICS
movement of drugs from an area of HIGH TO LOW CONCENTRATION WITHOUT ENERGY requiring.
PASSIVE DIFFUSION
measure of the rate and extent of drug into the systemic circulation
BIOVAILABILITY
where does most drug metabolism occur?
LIVER
a family of enzymes that play a key role in phase 1 metabolism
CYTOCHROME
drug administration equals the rate of elimination, typically 4-5 half-lives.
STEADY STATE
higher initial dose of drug given to quickly reach therapeutic levels
LOADING DOSE
constant drug
16%
most drug
curve graph
1ST ORDER
non constant drug
independent concentration
25% - 50%
straight graph
ZERO ORDER
to determine duration of action steady state concentration
HALF- LIFE
drugs move from high to low concentration with the HELP OF CARRIER PROTEINS but NON ENERGY REQUIRING
Ex; VITAMIN B12
FACILITATED DIFFUSION
the movement of drugs across membranes against the concentration with the ENERGY REQUIRING
ACTIVE TRANSPORT
process where large drug molecules are ENGULFED by the cell membrane
ENDOCYTOSIS
it is a CELL DRINKING
PINOCYTOSIS
it is a CELL EATING
PHAGOCYTOSIS
measures of HOW MUCH
- most important
AUC
UNMASK a polar functional groups
PHASE 1
ADDITION of polar group.
PHASE 2
release of drug from the dosage form
LIBERATION
pharmacotechnical factors of liberation
- DISINTEGRATION
- DISSOLUTION
movement of GI concentration to the small intestine.
GET
drugs that increase GI motility
- METOCLOPRAMIDE
- DOMPERIDONE
