| Physicians often use drugs for an "unapproved" or "off-label use." Explain some of the things they might be used for? | dosage, patient populations, indications, administration route that are not included in the FDA approved labeling |
| What are LEGEND drugs? | agents that require a prescrption by a licensed professional. |
| What are the 6 categories of drugs? | Prescription (Legend), Controlled, OTC, Orphan, Investigational, Dietary supplement |
| Which controlled substance has the highest abuse potential (referring to categorization)? | Schedule 1 |
| what is the scale for controlled substances? | Schedule 1 (most addictive)--> Schedule 5 (least addictive) |
| What is the highest amount of OTC ibuprofen (in mg's)? Famotidine (histamine-2 rec blocker)? | 200mg; 10mg |

| what is an investigational new drug (IND)? | a drug not yet approved by the FDA for distribution or use; can also apply to an existing drug undergoing IND propensity for new indication. |
| What are the requirements for dietary supplements? | they can advertise structure/function claims, but not treatment |
| What are the phases of drug development? | (1) Preclinical Research and Development (2) IND application (3) Clinical Research and Development (4) NDA (5) Post-Marketing Surveillance |
| what stage of drug apprval involves animal testing? what must be submitted to begin human clinical testing? | Animal testing occurs during preclinical research and development. Human testing begins after approval of IND application |
| During clinical research and development, what are phase 1 studies? | intended to define the inital parameters of toxicity, tolerable dosages, and general data; normally number of subjects is low; FDA ensures that subjects aren't exposed to unreasonable risks |
| what are phase 2 studies? | During clinical research and development, these studies are to determine effectiveness, adverse effects, and develop rational dosaging. Typically large numbers of subjects tested; FDA reviews scientific merit at this point. |
| What are phase 3 studies? | during clinical research and development, involve several thousand pts to document effectiveness for specific indications and clinical safety; FDA ensures that research content will likely lead to drug approval. |
| what are phase 4 studies, during clinical research and development? | this occurs after a drug has been put on the market and post-surveillance indicates that it needs to be recalled for further testing |
| If all 3 phases of the clinical research and development are successful, what is the next step? | all the date accumulated under the IND is compiled into an DNA and submitted for FDA review |
