Nurs 572A Pharm

Chapters 1-3

QuestionAnswer
drug chemical that affects living processes
pharmacology study of drugs + interactions with living systems pharmacokinetics + pharmacodynamics
clinical pharmacology study of drugs in humans
pharmacotherapeutics choosing the right drug for right purpose; use of drugs to diagnose, prevent & treat disease; use of drugs to prevent/induce pregnancy
properties of ideal drug "ess" effectiveness - does what it should, better than no drug safety - no universally safe drug selectivity - no universally selective drug
properties of ideal drug - other desirable properties "rpe ml ch" reversible action predictability ease of administration minimal drug interactions low cost chemical stability simple generic name
therapeutic objective maximum benefit with minimal harm
intensity of drug response determined by concentration of the drug, in its active form, at site of action
factors influencing drug response "appi" administration pharmacokinetics pharmacodynamics individual variations
drug response factor - administration dosage size route timing patient compliance controlled med errors
drug response factor - pharmacokinetics 'adme' what body does with drug - absorb, distribute, metabolize, excrete
drug response factor - pharmacodynamics impact of drug on the body when at site of action
nurse must anticipate . . . side effects and drug interactions
General steps in nursing process "papie" pre-administration assessment analysis/nursing diagnosis planning implementation/intervention evaluation
Nursing process: Pre-Admin assessment "cia" collect baseline data identify high risk patients assess pt self care capacity
Nursing Process: analysis/nursing diagnosis drug appropriateness response to prior tx drug choice, dose, route precautions/contraindications statements about pt actual/potential problems, probable causes, risk factors
Nursing process: planning individualized problem solving plan based on analysis *defined goals - max benefit/min harm *identify interventions *establish criteria for evaluation
Nursing process: implementation *prescriber order drug *independent intervention (pt. comfort/adherence, social aspect, etc) *same 4 aspects = *** drug admin ***enhancing benefit ***minimize size effects/interactio ***pt ed *may require coordination with other members of healthca
Nursing process: evaluation *determine degree of success *therapeutic response *absence of side effects, adverse interactions *promote optimal compliance *pt satisfaction
Nursing process: other components *promote non-drug options *pt ed - disease/tx *minimize side effects - anticipate s/e by monitoring s/s *appropriate prn decisions *manage side effects/toxicities
Federal Pure Food & Drug Act 1906 free of adulterants, nothing about efficacy or safety
Food, Drug & Cosmetic Act 1938 *all new drugs tested for safety *bwo sulfonamide incident *FDA responsible for evaluating safety tests
Kefauver-Harris amendment 1962 *drugs proven effective compared to placebo *established rigorous testing for new drugs
Controlled Substance Act 1970 schedules of drugs I-V in decreasing order of potential addiction/abuse
FDA Fast Track 1992 *accelerated approval (antiretroviral, cancer chemo) *marketing could precede completion of phase III trials
PDUFA - prescription drug user fee act 1992 mfg pay fees for application/services FDA use fees to hire reviewers, assess applications
FDA guidelines revised 1990s studies must include women/minority populations
FDA Modernization Act 1997 *expand fast tract *plan for drug discontinuation *some drugs must be tested in children *database for life-threatening diseases to facilitate pt enrollment in trials *off-label promotion & research agreement *renewed PDUFA
Best pharmaceutical for Children Act 2002 6 month patent extension (drugs already on market) for ped research
Pediatric Research Equity Act 2003 gives FDA authority to require peds research on certain drugs
FDA Amendments Act 2007 *post-marketing phase regulations *FDA can monitor drug safety *FDA can require post market studies *FDA can require additional safety labeling
New Drug Development - Preclinical testing 1-5 years on animals to evaluate *toxicity *pharmacokinetic properties *biologically useful effect
New Drug Development - Clinical Testing Phase I *normal volunteers *evaluation of drug metabolism *effects on humans
New Drug Development - Clinical Testing Phase II *tested on patients (500-5000) *therapeutic effects
How long is phase II & phase III new drug development 3-6 months, after phase III application for conditional approval is made
New Drug Development - Clinical Testing Phase III patient safety and effectiveness
New Drug Development - Clinical Testing Phase IV *begins with conditional approval from FDA *post-marketing surveillance *usage for general population *new side effects may be discovered *voluntary reporting by HCPs essential
types of drugs by regulatory authority *legend/rx --> FDA *OTC --> FDA *BTC behind the counter - smoking cessation, emergency contraception, pseudoephedrine products --> FDA nutritional/dietary --> DSHEA
DSHEA = Dietary supplement Health and Education act 1994 *FDA limited authority *unregulated sale of supplements with restrictive labeling *no health/disease claims *allowed claims about 'structure/function on bdy *no proof of safety/efficacy
CGMP = Current good manufacturing practices FDA proposed standards to improve quality, labeling and quality control practices
Drug can have 5 names, starting with Phase I investigational number *investigational number *chemical name *generic name *abbreviation *trade name
FDA Orange Book *lists TE=therapeutic equivalency of generics *if TE begins with letter "A" then product shown to have no problem with bioequivalency
Monoclonal antibody nomenclature system to classify monoclonal antibodies (often reproduced artificially)that share same target *Ends in -mab
MAB system * end in -mab *preceded by abbreviation related to source (human, rat, etc) *preceded by 2-3 letter abbreviation relating to clinical application *prefix is unique to drug product *if product radio labeled or has toxin attached, a separate word used
MAB system Source codes Human = humanized = chimeric (fusion protein)= primate = mouse = rat = hamster = =u =zu =xi =I =o =a =e
MAB disease or targets colon tumor = melanoma = breast tumor = testicular tumor = ovarian tumor = prostate tumor = misc. tumor = viral = bacterial = infectious lesion = immune = cardiovascular = =col =mel =mar =got =gov =pro =tum =vir =bac =les =lim =cir
MAB example - Infliximab = Remicade -mab = -xi = li(m) = -inf = =monoclonal antibody =chimeric (human + mouse) =immune target used for RA) =unique targe
MAB example Abciximab = Reopro ci(r) = cardiovascular target (antiplatelet agent)
MAB example Palivizumab = Synagis -vi(r)= -zu = viral (used to tx/prevent RSV humanized
MAB example certuximab = Erbitux tu(m)= misc tumor (used for several types of cancer)
Drug development takes how many years 6-12
Drug development costs approximately $800 million
Percentage of drugs in trials that gain approval 20%
most reliable way to assess drug therapies randomized controlled trials
what is tested during pre-clinical phase *kinetics *toxicity *effectiveness
True statements regarding OTCs *most illness initially treated with OTC *more rx drugs than OTC drugs administered annually in U.S. *average home has 5-10 OTC drugs *40% of Americans take one OTC q2d *some drugs sold by rx now available OTC
Classic text/reference on pharmacology Goodman & Gilman's The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics
