Term
some drugs can have _____ absorption peaks due to recirculation by the ______ (hepatic recirculation)
Definition
multiple
liver and gut
Term
enterohepatic recirculation
Definition
recirculation of drugs to the GI resulting in multiple peaks of absorption.
Term
stage two:
Definition
% of drug is processed by the liver and goes into the systemic circulation while the other is excreted in bile back into the gut
Term
stage one:
Definition
drug absorbed from the gut and delivered to liver via portal vein while some continues on to the systemic circulation, (first absorption peak)
Term
stage three:
Definition
assuming the drug is back in the GI, then the drug can be absorbed back into the liver via the portal circulation and as such, into the systemic circulation (second absorption peak)
Term
what will the graph look like when it undergoes hepatic recirculation?
Definition
concentration is on the y axis
time is on the x axis
there will be two peaks...the line will first rise, then peak, then proceed to go back down, as it reaches the second recirculation the line will rise again and finally drop back down till it reaches a concentration of zero.
Term
graphically the first peak (systemic absorption) will have a higher peak than the second peak (hepatic recirculation)
Definition
true
Term
properties (characteristics) of absorption include?
Definition
ph
food and other medication
disease states affecting GI tract
Term
the properties of drug absorption...
Definition
can alter the drug absorption
Term
oral administration is ____ the preferred route of drug administration
Definition
not always
Term
other routes of admin include:
Definition
iv
inhaled
cutaneous
subcutaneous
Term
when...
Definition
do you want effect to occur?
Term
where...
Definition
do you want effect to happen?
Term
how...
Definition
often to dose for needed effect
Term
non-systemic exposure (local)
Definition
limit toxicity
drug directly at site of action
Term
inhaled corticosteroids
inhaled amphotericin
topical anti-infectives
topical bimatoprost
are all...
Definition
types of drugs that are used to to take the medication directly to the site of action
Term
novel routes/consistent exposure can
Definition
improve adherenece
allow for less frequent dosing
Term
systemic exposure
Definition
when the rate of systemic absorption needs to me immediate

iv route used at times when oral route unavailable

when an oral bioavailability will be end up being poor
Term
an example of what has a poor bioavailability
Definition
insulin
Term
insulin is degraded by ____
Definition
pancreatic enzymes
Term
insulin is administered ____
Definition
subcutaneously
Term
insulin is a good example of ___
Definition
"when do you want the effect"
Term
rapid acting insulin
Definition
bolus dose before meals to cover glocose absorbed from food

fast onset, high peak, short duration
Term
long acting insulin
Definition
formulated for once or twice daily dosing

designed to cover glucose produced by liver

slow onset, little to no peak, long duration
Term
rate of systemic absorption
Definition
tends to be immediate

the extent of systemic absorption is at 100%
Term
an example of when to use the immedate effects of the rate of systemic absorption
Definition
acute pain management, bacteremia: bacteria present in the blood, active seizure activity, cardiac arrest needing pressor support
Term
examples of when an iv route is used at times when oral route is unavailable
Definition
ileus, acute GI bleeding, acute pancreatitis

when a rapid onset is needed
