Question | Answer |
---|---|
Pediatric Dosage - Clarks Rule | child dose = (Childs weight/150)x max adult dose |
Pediatric Dosage - Frieds Rule | Infant dose = (infants age in mths/150) x max adult dose |
Solution Calculation percentage | number of grams of solute dissolved in 100ml of solvent. Ex. 1gram/100ml or 1000mg/100 multiply Xmg/3ml. |
Solution Calculation ratio | ratio 1:1000 1gr/1000ml or 1000mg/1000ml multiply Xmg/3ml |
Theraputic Index equation | Toxic dose/effective dose ex 500/100 = 5 TI=5 5 x the dose to be toxic |
Equipotent dosage | 1 Aspirin dosage is 50mg 1 ibuprofen dosage is 200mg These equal the same. |
Ceiling effect | after a certain amount of drug there is no additional effect. |
Efficacy | the maximum effect a drug can provide |
Potency | the amount of drug required to produce an effect. the least amount is the most potent. |
Drug Indications | For which a drug is to improve -speed up heart rate on a brady patient. -effect-increase heart rate -indication-low heart rate |
Antagonist | -attaches on to receptors and has not response. "Blocker" -no effect at the site but has a patient effect. |
Agonist | attaches onto the receptor and has a response. |
Pharmacodynamics | How the drug effects the body |
Parent Drug | the molecules structure at the time it was given whatever form it was given, it has been metabolized. |
Absorption | process by which a drug enters circulation. |
5 primary ways of drug administration | -enteral-along the GI tract -parenteral-outside of GI tract -transdermal-patch -inhalation-aerosol -topical-ointment |
Pharmacokinetics | -what your body does to the drug -How quickly it absorbs, changes, distributes and eliminates |
Bioavailability | amount of drug in serum in its active form available for distribution to intended site of action. |
Cholinergic Indications | -tachycardia -constrict pupils -increase GI and urinary motility -to diagnose asthma by broncho constricting. |
What are the drugs that inhibit AchE which allow ACH to accumulate and produce greater effect? "gets rid of AchE" | Physostigmine (Neostigmine) Endrophonium (Tensilon) -indirect acting -not an agonist so it does NOT attach to the receptor. |
What drugs act as an agonist on muscarinic receptors | -Bethanechol -Pilocarpine -Methacholine |
Acetycholine (Ach) is terminated by? ACH is made in the body | Acetylcholinesterase (AchE) |
Norepinephrine (NE) is terminated by? | MAO, COMT, reuptake |
Cholinergic receptor drugs | Nicotinic and Muscarinic |
Cholinergic receptors interact with? | ACH |
Adrenergic receptors interact with? | Norepi (NE) |
Neurotransmitter | Chemicals that transmit signals from a neuron to a target cell. |
What do Sympathetics do | increase heart rate |
What do parasympathetics do | decrease heart rate |
Where can drugs be stored? | fat cells and calcium |
What are prodrugs? | Inactive parent drug |
What are the 2 routes of drug clearance? | Kidney (renal) and Liver (hepatic) |
receptors | chemical components of cells with which drugs interact to product their effect. |
What are the drug effects? | changes we see clinically after administrating a drug. "physiological changes the drug produces" |
What are drug indications? | the conditions for which the drug is intended to improve. |
Strength | Expressed the amount of solute that is dissolved in a specific amount of solvent. |
Solution percent | the number of grams of solute dissolved in 100ml of solvent. |
Clinical drop scale or gtts | 20gtts = 1cc 10gtts = 0.5cc 8gtts = 0.4cc 6gtts = 0.3cc 4gtts = 0.2cc 2gtts = 0.1cc 1gtts = 0.05cc |
Solution ratio | Expressed as the number of grams of solute dissolved in the number of ml of solvent. |
Autonomic | involuntary structures. Smooth muscle (lungs), cardiac muscle and glands. |
Cholinergic drugs | drugs which produce effects similar to those produced by acetycholine. |
Cholinergic effects | any produced by parasympathetic nerves. |
Anticholinergic drugs | act as an antagonist on muscarinic receptors blocking ACH or cholinergic drugs. |
Anticholinergic effects | blocking parasympathetic so sympathetic effects are permitted to dominate. |
Anticholinergic do not effect? | blood vessels are not effected since there is no paraympathetic innervation to block. |
Anticholinergic Indications | -pre-operative to dry secretions -bradycardia -broncho dilate in asthma -counteract diarrhea -counteract urinary incontinence -dilate pupils for an eye exam |
muscarinic sites | Gland, GI, heart, eye |
Cholinergic synapse | Acetylcholine. Synthesis-within axonal ending from choline and acetate. |
Adrenergic synapse | Norepinephrine. synthesis-within axonal ending from tyrosine. |
What are the adrenergic receptors | Alpha, Beta1, Beta2 |
What do the Alpha receptors do | mediate contraction of smooth muscle. |
What are the Alpha receptors | 1.Vascular smooth muscle - vasoconstriction 2.Radial muscle fibers of iris - mydriasis. |
