ADME 2
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| pharmacokinetics | what body does to drug (ADME) |
| ADME | administration, distribution, metabolism, excretion/ elimination |
| ADME meaning | absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion/elimination |
| TDM | therapeutic drug monitoring |
| first order kinetics | body removes constant proportion of drug per unit time |
| zero order kinetics | body removes constant amount of drug per unit time |
| IV injection | drug injected directly into bloodstream so entire dose is available- one compartment model |
| one compartment model | drug distributes instantly throughout entire body |
| first pass metabolism | drug metabolised in liver before it enters systemic circulation |
| IV bioavailability + characteristics | 100%, most rapid onset |
| IM bioavailability + characteristics | 75 to ≤ 100%, large volume but painful |
| subcutaneous bioavailability + characteristics | 75 to ≤ 100%, smaller volume than IM |
| oral bioavailability + characteristics | 5 to ≤ 100%, convenient + significant first pass effect |
| rectal bioavailability + characteristics | 30 to ≤ 100%, less 1st pass effect than oral |
| inhalation bioavailability + characteristics | 5 to ≤ 100%, often very rapid onset |
| transdermal bioavailability + characteristics | 80 to ≤ 100%, slow absorption, lacks first pass effect |
| AUC | area under the curve - plot of drug concentration in blood plasma over time |
| describe the AUC for oral dose | slope |
| describe the AUC for IV dose | diagonal line going down |
| bioavailability | F ( fraction absorbed) = AUC oral / AUC IV |
| digoxin elixir F | 0.8 |
| digoxin tablets F | 0.7 |
| digoxin gelatine capsules F | 1 |
| formula for dose given | amount needed / F |
| salt factor definition | proportion of medicine which is active drug |
| salt factor formula | dose of active (free) drug/ amount (dose of salt form medicine) |
| formula for amount of drug | S x F x dose |
| Vd in words | volume of distribution |
| Vd definition | volume drug is dissolved in body between tissues and plasma proteins |
| formula for Vd | amount in body (dose) / plasma concentration at time 0 (t0 conc) |
| small Vd | drug only goes to one part of the body |
| large Vd | drug goes to many parts of the body |
| chloroquine | drug with a Vd > 100 L/kg (high Vd) |
| chloroquine side effects in heart (CVS) | ECG changes, cardiomyopathy |
| chloroquine side effects in eyes | retinopathy and blurred vision |
| chloroquine side effects in CNS | headache, delirium and seizure |
| chloroquine side effects in nerves | nerve deafness, reduced hearing |
| chloroquine side effects in neuromuscular + skeletal | neuromyopathy |
| chloroquine side effects in lungs | respiratory arrest |
| range for drugs with large Vd | >5-10 L/kg |
| range for drugs with small Vd | <1 L/kg |
| examples of drugs with a large Vd | antidepressants, propranolol, verapamil |
| examples of drugs with small Vd | theophylline, phenytoin, lithium, phenobarbital |
| graph of Vd after IV administration | diagonal line down - extrapolate to t=0 gives plasma concentration at t=0 |
| units for Vd | L or L/kg |
| digoxin Vd | 7.3 L per kg (511 L) |
| CL in words | clearance |
| CL meaning | how blood removes drug from blood plasma in mL/min or L/h |
| CL renal | rate elimination (kidney) / concentration |
| CL liver | rate elimination (liver) / concentration |
| CL other | rate elimination (other) / concentration |
| CL systemic meaning | how blood removes drug from blood plasma in whole body |
| CL systemic formula | CL renal + CL liver + CL other |
| exponential decay graph | exponential slope downwards showing gradual clearance of drug concentration over time split into distribution phase + elimination phase |
| formula for first order kinetics | Ct = C0e^-kt |
| what does Ct mean in the formula for first order kinetics | drug concentration in plasma at time t |
| what does C0 mean in the formula for first order kinetics | initial drug concentration at time 0 |
| what does e mean in the formula for first order kinetics | 2.718 |
| what does k mean in the formula for first order kinetics | rate constant (per minute/hour) |
| what does t mean in the formula for first order kinetics | time |
| formula for rate constant | k= CL / Vd |
| formula for CL using rate constant (K) | CL = k x Vd |
| what is T(1/2) | time taken for the concentration of drug to decrease by 50% |
| -kt value? | ln 0.5 (-0.693) |
| half life formula | 0.693/ k |
| phenytoin onset of action | 0.5-1 hour |
| phenytoin time of peak | 2-3 hours |
| phentytoin Vd | 0.6-0.7 L/kg |
| phenytoin t(1/2) half life | 22 hours |
| phenytoin bioavailability and clearance | variable |
| phenytoin therapeutic plasma concentration | 10-20 ug/mL |
| at what level is there decreased mentation (mental activity) for phenytoin | >40 ug/mL |
| at what level is there death for phenytoin | >100 ug/mL |
| at >40ug/mL of phenytoin what side effect is possible | decreased mentation (mental activity) |
| at >100ug/mL of phenytoin what side effect is possible | death |
