17
Q

What is half-life?

A

Time required for the body to eliminate 50% of the drug

18
Q

What is pharmacodynamic?

A

Drug’s actions and effects within the body

19
Q

What is a physical dependence?

A

Compulsive need to use a substance repeatedly to avoid mild to severe withdrawal symptoms

20
Q

What is psychological dependence?

A

Compulsion to use a substance to obtain a pleasurable experience

21
Q

What is pharmacogenetic disorder?

A

Genetically determined abnormal response to normal dose of a drug

22
Q

What is a receptor?

A

Specialized macromolecule that binds to the drug molecule, altering the function of the cell and producing the therapeutic response

23
Q

What is alterations in Cellular environment?

A

Drug that alters cellular function can increase or decrease the physiologic functions of the cell. (Ex: Increased heart rate, decreased blood pressure)

24
Q

What is a therapeutic response?

A

Alteration of the cell to achieve the desired response

25
Q

What is an agonist?

A

Drug that binds wiht a receptor to produce the therapeutic response. (Binds to dopamine receptors)

26
Q

What is an antagonist?

A

Drug binds to receptor stronger than the agonist thus producing no pharmacologic effect.
(Ex: Narcan is an antagonist to Morphine) (reverses the action)

27
Q

What is an adverse reaction?

A

Undesirable drug effect

28
Q

What is an allergic reaction?

A

Drug reaction that occurs because the individual’s immune system views the drug as a foreign substance

A

Any unusual or abnormal reaction to a drug that a patient has, that doesn’t occur in the vast majority of patients taking the same drug

31
Q

What is toxic?

A

Harmful drug effect if it is delivered in high dose or when blood concentration levels exceed therapeutic levels

32
Q

What is a pharmacogenetic reaction?

33
Q

What is pharmeceutic phase?

A

Dissolution of a drug. Usually applying to the breakdown of tablets

34
Q

What is addictive drug reaction?

A

Reaction that occurs when the combined effect of 2 drugs is equal to the sum of each drug given alone. (Think addition)

35
Q

What is syngerism?

A

Drug interaction that occurs when drugs produce an effect that is greater than the sum of their separate actions. (Think multiplication)

36
Q

What is an antagonist drug reaction?

A

When one drug interferes with the action of another, causing neutralization or a decrease in the effect of one drug

37
Q

What is drug-food interaction?

A

Drugs given orally, food may impair or enhance it’s absorption

38
Q

What are some factors that influence drug response?

A
  1. Age
  2. Weight
  3. Gender
  4. Disease
  5. Route of aministration
    6.
