Pharmocology Flashcards
What factors affect absorption
>Particle size >Food >GIT mobility >Physiochemical factors >solubility >dissociation factor >GIT enzymes
What are bases and acids
Bases: acid receptors
Acids: proton donors
As pH increases what happens to bases and acids
Acids become ionised
Bases unionised
What can volume of distribution be used to do?
Calculate loading dose
Estimate blood conc in an overdose
What factors affect distribution
Regional flow Binding Disease Drug receptors Lipid solubility
What occurs if a drug with a higher binding affinity is added
competition and displacement
What factors affect metabolism
Genetic Age Liver disease Hepatic flow 1st pass
What is the toxic product made by oxidation of paracetamol?
NSPQ
Two types of cytochrome P450
Inducers
Inhibitors
Why do we uses creatine to measure rate of drug clearance?
not actively secreted
not passively absorbed
What is clearance
Vol of blood/ plasma cleared of drug per unit time
What measures drug affinity to receptor?
KD
What do second messengers result in?
Amplification
What ligands normally bind to receptor kinase?
Insoluble growth factors
What does propanol block?
What does it treat>
Competitive antagonist
Non selective
>Adrenaline & Noradrenaline
>Hyper tension & angia
