Variability Flashcards
what drug has higher plasma concentrations in Asians
rosuvastatin
which race is more sensitive to propranolol
Chinese
which CYP has a lot of genetic variability
CYP2D6
what drug has higher concentrations with less functional CYP2D6 genes
nortriptyline
renal clearance of which two drugs rise from birth before peaking and declining with age
ceftriaxone
theophylline
this drug has a half life and Vd that increases and CL that decreases with age
diazepam
this drug shows higher Cp and lower CL in the elderly
EC50 is also at a lower concentration, so they have reduced metabolism and greater sensitivity
midazolam
what is generally expected of metabolism and clearance with age
decreased drug metabolism and renal clearance
neonates haw low clearance, long half lives, and high Vd for this drug
theophylline
which gender has increased CYP3A4 activity (ex. lovastatin)
females
which gender has increased CYP2D6 activity (ex. metoprolol) and CYP1A2 (ex. theophylline)
males
males and females have the same activity in which CYP
CYP2C19 (ex. omeprazole)
with methylprednisolone, females show
higher sensitivity and clearance (CYP3A4)
which class of drugs have higher AUCs in women, so they are more likely to have toxic concentrations
antiretrovirals (ritonavir, atazanavir, CYP3A4 and 2D6)
metoprolol shows what in females
higher concentrations and lower CL
females are more sensitive to what AE when taking quinidine (CYP3A4)
ECG changes
which drug showed a DDI with antifungals (-azoles) leading to QT interval changes in females
terfenadine (seldane)
aspirin showed __ reduction in CV events in women than men
less reduction
drugs show reduced renal clearance at what time of day
night
theophylline shows less AEs when administered with or without food?
without
with food increases incidence of AE
effects of food on drug absorption
delayed gastric emptying
increases dissolving poorly soluble drugs
changed GI pH
stimulated bile flow
etc
which 2 drugs showed higher peak concentrations when given with food
tizanidine
desvenlafaxine
GFJ inactivates GI CYP3A4, increasing the AUC of which drug
simvastatin
vitamins should always be taken ___ food
with
are there absorption changes with obesity
no
drug distribution may be affected in obesity and depends on
water, fat, logP
what effect does obesity have on CL
increase in CrCl, partial increase in renal Cl
