Review Flashcards
Ranitidine, Cimetidine, and Dipyridamole after oral administration produce a blood concentration curve consisting of two peaks. What it the term for this phenomena?
Double Peak Phenomena
The double peak phenomenon observed for cimetidine may be due to what?
Variability in stomach emptying
Does ranitidine produce a double peak after oral, parenteral (IV bolus) administration, or both?
Both
What are two primary reasons for the double peak phenomenon?
- Divided dose
2. Biological effect
Systemic absorption of a drug is dependent on what three physiological factors?

- The nature of the drug product
- The anatomy and physiology of the absorption site
Solubility, stability, and ionization constants are categorized under which of the following physiological factors related to drug absorption?
a. The physiochemical properties of the drug
b. The nature of the drug product
c. The anatomy and physiology of the absorption site
The physiochemical properties of the drug
Effect of the excipients on drug release and properties by the formulation are categorized under which of the following physiological factors related to drug absorption?
a. The physiochemical properties of the drug
b. The nature of the drug product
c. The anatomy and physiology of the absorption site
The nature of the drug product
Local environment, specialized anatomical features, transit time are categorized under which of the following physiological factors related to drug absorption?
a. the physiochemical properties of the drug
b. The nature of the drug product
c. The anatomy and physiology of the absorption site
The anatomy and physiology of the absorption site
The process of a drug moving across a cell
Transcellular absorption
The passage of a substance through gaps or tight junctions between cells
Paracellular absorption
The drug substance must be transported from the absorption site through or around one or more layers of cells to gain access into the ___ ____.
general circulation
Cell membranes serve as a ___ ____ that separates the cell’s various organelles and sub-structures from the interstitial fluid
packaging boundary
Discrepancies of the lipid bilayer model states that ____, _____, and _____ readily cross cell membranes
- Water
- Urea (small MW substances)
- Charged ions
Cell membranes represent a ____ selective barrier
semipermeable
Can a small, uncharged molecule pass through cell membranes
Yes
Can large polar molecules or ions pass through cell membranes?
No
O2, CO2, H2O, N2, Glycerol, and Ethanol are:
a. small, uncharge molecules that can pass through cell membranes
b. large polar molecules and ions that cannot pass through the cell membrane
a. small, uncharged molecules that can pass through the cell membrane
Parasympatholytic
a substance or activity that reduces the activity of the parasympathetic nervous system.
The parasympathetic nervous system is often colloquially described as the “Feed and Breed” or “Rest and Digest” portion of the autonomic nervous system
Sympatholytic
Drug that opposes the downstream effects of postganglionic nerve firing in effector organs innervated by the sympathetic nervous system
Sympathomimetic
Producing physiological effects characteristic of the sympathetic nervous system by promoting the stimulation of sympathetic nerves. (ex. nasal decongestants)
Parasympathomimetic
substance that stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system. These chemicals are also called cholinergic drugs because acetylcholine is the neurotransmitter used by the PSNS
Sodium Chloride
Tonicity agent used to render a solution similar to osmotic characteristics
Sodium Hydroxide
Used to adjust pH
Citric Acid
acidifying agent
purified water
solvent
Phase 1 metabolism
oxidation
Phase 2 metabolism
Glucuronidation, acetylation, sulfation
Can erythromycin penetrate the blood brain barrier
Yes
Analytical Model
identifies a caregiver as a scientist dealing only in facts and does not consider the human aspect of the patient
Engineering Model
A dehumanizing approach and usually ineffective
Priestly Model
Provides caregiver with a godlike paternalist attitude that makes decisions for and not with the patient
Collegial Model
Provides more cooperative model of pursuing healthcare between provider and patient involving trust and common goals
