28-year-old chemist presents ;with MPTP exposure. What neurotransmitter is depleted?   Dopamine.  
Woman taking tetracycline ;exhibits photosensitivity.   Rash on sun-exposed regions of ;the body.  
African-American man who ;goes to Africa develops a ;hemolytic anemia after taking ;malarial prophylaxis.   Glucose-6-phosphate ;dehydrogenase deficiency  
Farmer presents with dyspnea, ;salivation, miosis, diarrhea, ;cramping, and blurry vision.   Insecticide poisoning; inhibition of acetylcholinesterase.  
27-year-old female with a history of psychiatric illness now has urinary retention due to a neuroleptic. What do you treat it with?   Bethanechol.  
Patient with recent kidney ;transplant is on cyclosporine for ;immunosuppression. Requires ;antifungal agent for candidiasis. What antifungal drug would result in cyclosporine toxicity?   Ketoconazole.  
Patient is on carbamazepine. What routine workup should always be done?   LFTs.  
23-year-old female who is on ;rifampin for TB prophylaxis and ;on birth control (estrogen) gets ;pregnant. Why?   Rifampin augments estrogen ;metabolism in the liver, rendering it less effective.  
Km reflects   the affinity of the ;enzyme for its substrate.  
Vmax is directly proportional   to ;the enzyme concentration.  
The lower the Km, the   The lower the Km, the higher;the affinity.  
The ???? the Km, the higher;the affinity.   lower  
Competitive inhibitors ;vs;Noncompetitive inhibitors ;;WRT Resemble substrate   Competitive-- Yes;;Noncompetitive-- NO  
Competitive inhibitors ;vs;Noncompetitive inhibitors ;;WRT Overcome by ↑ [S]   Competitive-- Yes;;Noncompetitive-- NO  
Competitive inhibitors ;vs;Noncompetitive inhibitors ;;WRT Bind active site   Competitive-- Yes;;Noncompetitive-- NO  
Competitive inhibitors ;vs;Noncompetitive inhibitors ;;WRT Effect on Vmax   Competitive-- no change;;Noncompetitive-- decrease  
Competitive inhibitors ;vs;Noncompetitive inhibitors ;;WRT Effect on Km   Competitive-- increase;;Noncompetitive-- no change  
Volume of ;distribution (Vd) ;;describe and altered by   Relates the amount of drug in the body to the plasma concentration. ;;Vd of plasma ;protein–bound drugs can be altered by liver and kidney disease.  
Vd equation   amount of drug in the body /;plasma drug concentration  
Vd ranges and what the mean for where the drug is   low Vd distribute in plasma;;medium Vd distribute in extracellular space;;high Vd distribute in tissues  
t1/2 =   0.7 × Vd/CL  
0.7 × Vd/CL =   half life  
concentration after no. of half-lives   1 - 50% ;2 - 75% ;3 - 87.5;3.3 - 90%;4 - 94%  
Loading dose =   Cp × Vd/F.  
28 year old chemist presents with MPTP exposure What NT is depleted?   Dopamine  
Woman taking tetracycline exhibits photosensitivity What are the clinical manifestations?   Rash on sun-exposed regions of body  
Nondiabetic patient presents with hypoglycemia but low levels of C peptide What is the diagnosis   Surreptitious insulin injection  
African American male who goes to Africa develops hemolytic anemia after taking malaria prophylaxis What is the enzyme defficiency   Glucose 6 phosphate dehydrogenase  
27 year old female with history of psychiatric illness now has urinary retention due to neuroleptic What do you treat it with?   Bethanechol  
Farmer presents with dyspnea, salivation, miosis, diarrhea, cramping and blurry vision What caused this and what is the mechanism   Insecticide poisoning, inhibition of acetylcholinesterase  
Patient with recent kidney transplant is on cyclosporine for immunosuppresion, he requires antifungal agent for candidiasis What antifungal drug would result in cyclosporine toxicity?   Ketoconazole  
Man on several medications including antidepressants and antihypertensives, has mydriasis and becomes constipated What is the cause of symptoms?   TCA  
55 year old postmenopausal woman on tamoxifen therapy What is she at increased risk of acquiring?   Endometrial carcinoma  
Woman on MAO inhibitor has hypertensive crisis after meal What did she ingest?   Tyramine (wine or cheese)  
After taking clindamycin, patient develops toxic megacolon and diarrhea What is the mechanism of diarrhea?   Clostridium difficile overgrowth  
Man starts a medication for hyperlipidemia. He then develops rash, pruritus and GI upset What drug was it?   Niacin  
Patient is on carbamazepine What routine workup should be done?   LFT's  
23 year old female who is on rifampin for TB prophylaxis and on birth control (estrogen) gets pregnant Why?   Rifampin augments estrogen metabolism in liver rendering it less effective  
Patient develops cough and must discontinue captopril WHat is a good replacement drug and why doesnt it have the same side effects?   Losartan - an angiotensin II receptor antagonist, does not increase bradykinin as captopril does  
Relates the amount of drug in the body to plasma concentration   Vd - volume of distribution  
Formule for volume of distribution   Vd = amount of drug in the body/plasma drug concentration  
Vd of plasma protein-bound drugs can be altered by what disease?   Liver and kidney  
Relates the rate of elimination to plasma concentration   CLEARANCE  
Formula for clearance   Cl = rate of elimination of drug/plasma drug concentration  
The time required to change the amount of drug in the body by 1/2 during elimination (or during constant infusion) is called _   Half life T1/2  
After 1 half life concentration of drug equals _ %   0.5  
After 2 half lifes concentration of drug equals_   0.75  
A drug infused at constant rate reaches about _ % of steady state after 4 T1/2   94  
Formula for T1/2   T1/2 = 0.7 * Vd/CL  
Loading dose formula   Loading dose = Cp * Vd/F ;;Cp= target plasma concentration F = bioavailibility
