Cards

Term
Pharmacodynamics
Definition
study of biochemical and physiological effects of drugs. relationship between the concentration at the receptor site and the response of the tissue to that drug. EX: liodcaine on heart muscle and the duration of the action potential of fibers.
> receptor binding, post receptor effects, chemical interactions.
Term
Pharmacokinetics
Definition
look at drug movement throughout body. Relationship between drug dose and drug blood level. Drug absorption, bioavailability, distribution, metabolsim, elimination.
Term
Five pharmacological parameters for serum drug concentration
Definition
Drug liberation, absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion.
Term
First pass metabolism
Definition
SOME drugs is metabolized from the portal circulation reducing bio availability. fraction of drug that is absorbed and actually reaches the blood. Low bioavailability: quickly metabolized by liver, imeediately after being absorbed in the small intestine.
Term
Steady state
Definition
point at which the concentration of the drug is in equilibrium with the rate of dose adminstration and the rate of elimiation.
Term
Oral vs intravenous
Definition
Oral dosing intervals give peaks and troughs in the dose response curve, while intravenous is constant.
Term
Trough collected when?
Definition
Right before next dosage
Term
Intravenous drugs model of elimination..
Definition
biphasic/ two compartment with serum level rapidly falling in the first phase. Tissue vs blood/good tissues (profused). Ex: digixon. Lots can be accumulated in the tissues while target is fine. Oral route is uniformly distribution. One compartment.
Term
Aminoglycoside antibiotics... why pay attention to it?
Definition
Highly toxic, must perform peak and trough measurements. Concentrates at the kidneys bro! Toxic can damage kidneys and hearing.
Term
TLC and drugs screen.
Definition
Rf values match with standards. Comparison to see what drugs it can contain.
Term
Lead specimen type
Definition
whole blood (trace element tube blue) with AAS.It intereferes with heme synthesis by binding to ALA's sulhydrl group. Navy blue top for others.
