Pharmacolonetics Flashcards
Describe the process of oharmicolinetics
Drug is anaorbed and delivered
It is then distributed and is diluted
The body will begin to break down and excrete the drug
Must be administered repeatedly
Define pharmacokinetics
The complex sequence of events that occur after a drug administers to a body
Define absorption
The movement of a drug from the site of administration to the systemic corculation.
Define ionized
Charged and hydrophilic
Define non ionized
Uncharged and lipopholic
What do hydrophilic drugs do
Dissolve in water (tissue, fluid, lymph)
What do lipophiloc drugs do
Dissolve in oil based fluids and absorbed well across phospholipid cell membranes
What can determine the degree to which a drug becomes ionized and absorbed?
Oh
What way are lipophilic drug best administers?
Orally
Weakly acidic drugs will not ionize in what type of environment?
Acidic
Weakly basic drugs will not ionize in what kind of environment?
Alkaline
What happens if a drug is introduced to an environment where it readily ionized?
Will not absorb
What form do drugs need to be in to penetrate the GI mucosa?
Oral
What can alter or delay absorption rate?
Enteric coatings or sustained release compounds
What form do parent real drugs need to be in?
Hydrophilic form
Decreased gI motility will do what to a drug?
Lengthen absorption time
Increased GI motility will do what to a drug?
Shorten the time the drug is in the GI tract which may not allow dissolution
What an the presence of food do to a drug?
May interfere with dissolution and absorption
What is the first pass effect
Detoxification by the liver
What do all drugs need to survive before entering the systemic system?
The first pass effect/liver
How can blood flow be altered to interfere with absorption rate?
Adrenaline can increase blood flow to the muscles and decrease blood flow to the intestines
How can temperature effect blood flow?
Can cause Vado constriction or dialation
Describe drug distribution
Physiological movement of drugs from the systemic circulation to the tissues
What are three ways drug movement can occur
Passive diffusion, facilitated, active transport
What is passive diffusion
Movement of drug molecules from area of high concentration to low
What is facilitated diffusion?
Diffusion that needs a special carrier molecule but does not require energy
What is active transport
Requires carrier molecule and energy moving from low to high
