Question
Answer
show Absorbed (taken into the body) Distributed (moved into various tissues) Metabolism (changed into a form that can be excreted) Excretion (removed from the body)  
🗑
What is drug absorption?   show
🗑
show Requires cellular energy to move the drug from an area of lower concentration to an area of higher concentration. Used to absorb electrolytes, such as sodium and potassium, as well as some drugs such as Levodopa.  
🗑
What is passive transport?   show
🗑
show A unique form of active transport that occurs when a cell engulfs a drug particle. Commonly employed to transport fat-soluble vitamins.(A,D,E,and K)  
🗑
What factors can effect the rate of absorption?   show
🗑
show The process by which the drug is delivered from the systemic circulation to body tissues and fluids.  
🗑
show blood flow solubility protein binding  
🗑
show The process by which the body changes a drug from its dosage form to a more water-soluble form.  
🗑
What factors can effect drug metabolism?   show
🗑
show Elimination of drugs from the body  
🗑
Define Pharmacodynamics   show
🗑
Define Pharmacotherapeutics   show
🗑
Define drug interaction(s)?   show
🗑
What are some potential drug interactions?   show
🗑
Define adverse drug reaction   show
🗑
show secondary effects hypersusceptability overdose iatrogenic effects  
🗑
show Promote the action of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, also called parasympathomimetic drugs.  
🗑
show The action and metabolism of these drugs vary widely and depend on the affinity of the drug for muscarinic or nicotinic receptors.  
🗑
What are the pharmacodynamics of cholinergic agaonists?   show
🗑
What are the pharmacotherpeutics of cholinergic agonists?   show
🗑
What are the adverse reactions to cholinergic agonists?   show
🗑
show Block the action of the enzyme acetylcholinesterase at cholinergic receptor sites, preventing the breakdown of acetylcholine.  
🗑
Define anticholinergic drugs   show
🗑
What is the pharmacological drug class for Bethanecol?   show
🗑
What is the pharmacological drug class for Atropine?   show
🗑
What is Atropine used to treat?   show
🗑
What is the pharmacological drug class for Neostigmine?   show
🗑
Define adrenergic drugs   show
🗑
show An adrenergic drug class that stimulates the nervous system, constrict peripheral blood vessels, increase heart rate, and dilate the bronchi, such as epinephrine and norepinephrine  
🗑
Define adrenergic blocking drugs   show
🗑
What are alpha-adrenergic blockers?   show
🗑
show This drug class blocks the synthesis, storage, release, and reuptake of norepenphrine or they antagonize epinephrine, norepinephrine, or adrenergic drugs at alpha receptor sites.  
🗑
show Used to treat benign prostatic hypertrophy, hypertension, peripheral vascular disease, and pheochromocytoma  
🗑
show The most widely used adrenergic blockers, prevent stimulation of the sympathetic nervous system by inhibiting the action of catecholamines at beta-adrenergic receptors.  
🗑
show This drug causes increased peripheral vascular resistance, decreased blood pressure, decreased force of the heart beat,decreased oxygen to the heart, and slowed impulse between atria and ventricles  
🗑
What are the pharmacotherapeutics of beta-adrenergic blockers?   show
🗑
Define skeletal muscle relaxants   show
🗑
What is the pharmacological drug class for Dantrolene?   show
🗑
What is Dantrolene used to treat?   show
🗑
What is the chemical name for Valium?   show
🗑
show This drug class is a muscle skeletal relaxant but also has anticonvulsants.  
🗑
What is the pharmacological drug class for Baclofen?   show
🗑
What is the pharmacological drug class for Valium?   show
🗑
show Also called competitive or stabilizing drugs, are derived from curare alkaloids and synthetically similar compounds  
🗑
What is the pharmacological drug class for Succinylcholine?   show
🗑
show This drug is a dopaminergic drug used to improve motor function of the brain.  
🗑
show These drugs are used as adjuncts to levodopa-carbidopa therapy in managing patients with Parkinson's disease.  
🗑
Define anticonvulsant drugs   show
🗑

🗑
show A group of drugs classified by their similar characteristics Ex:beta-adrenergic blocker  
🗑
show A group of drugs classified by their therapeutic use Ex:antihypertensives  
🗑
show A drug that is inactive when taken but becomes active when metabolized.  
🗑
show Disopyramide Amantadine Buclizine, Cyclizine, Meclizine, and diphenhydramine Haloperidol,phenothiazines, and thioxanthenes Cyclobenzaprine Orphenadrine Tricyclic and Tetracyclic antidepressants  
🗑
