Question
Answer
Absolute Bioavailability   the bioavailability of a drug product compared to the same drug in the form of a rapidly administered IV  
🗑
absorption   the movement of a drug from the dosage formulation to the blood  
🗑
active transport   the movement of drugs from one area of lower concentration to an area of higher concentration: cellular energy is required  
🗑
agonists   drugs that activate cell receptors to accelerate or slow normal cell function  
🗑
antagonists   drugs that bind with receptors but do not activate them  
🗑
bioavailabilty   the amount of the administered dose that reaches the general circulation and the rate at which it occurs  
🗑
bioequivalency   the comparison of bioavailability between two forms  
🗑
complexation   when two different molecules associate or attach to each other  
🗑
disposition   a term sometimes used to refer to all of ADME processes together  
🗑
duration of action   the time drug concentration is about minimum effective concentration MEC  
🗑
elimination   the process of metabolism and excretion  
🗑
enterohepatic cycling   the transfer of drugs and their metabolites from the liver to bile in the gall bladder, then into the intestine, and back into circulation  
🗑
enzyme   a complex protein that catalyzes chemical reactions  
🗑
enzyme induction   the increase of hepatic enzyme activity that results in the greater metabolism of drugs  
🗑
enzyme inhibition   the decrease of hepatic enzyme activity that results in reduced metabolism of drugs  
🗑
first-pass metabolism   the substantial degradation of an orally administered drug caused by enzyme metabolism in the liver before the drug reaches the systemic circulation  
🗑
gastric emptying time   the time a drug will stay in the stomach before entering the small intestine  
🗑
glomerular filtration   the blood philtering process of the nephron  
🗑
hydrophilic   capable of absorbing water or associating with water  
🗑
hydrophobic   water repelling: cannot associate with water  
🗑
lipoidal   fat like substance  
🗑
Metabolite   the substance resulting from a body's transformation of an administered drug  
🗑
Minimum Effective Concentration (MEC)   the blood concentration needed for a drug to produce a response  
🗑
Minimum Toxic Concentration (MTC)   the upper limit of the therapeutic window  
🗑
nephron   the functional unit of the kidneys  
🗑
onset of action   the time MEC is reached and the response occurs  
🗑
passive diffusion   the movement of drugs from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration  
🗑
pharmaceutical alternative   drug products that contain the same active ingredient, but not necessarily in the same salt form, amount or dosage form.  
🗑
pharmaceutical equivalent   drug products that contain identical amounts of the same active ingredients and same dosage form  
🗑
protein binding   the attachment of a drug molecule to a plasma or tissue protein, effectively making the drug inactive, but also keeping it within the body  
🗑
receptor   the cellular material located at the site of action that interacts with the drug  
🗑
relative bioavailability   the bioavailability of a drug product compared to the same drug in any other dosage form than a rapidly administered IV solution  
🗑
selective (action)   the characteristic of a drug that makes its action specific to certain receptors and the tissues they affect  
🗑
site of action   the location where an administered drug produces an effect  
🗑
therapeutic equivalent   pharmaceutical equivalents that produce the same effects  
🗑
therapeutic window   a drug's blood concentration range between its minimum effective concentration and minimum toxic concentration  
🗑
The place where a drug causes an effect to occur is called the ..   site of action  
🗑
when a drug produces an effect, it is acting at a _________ level.   cellular  
🗑
What can determine drug action?   number of receptors occupied, number of receptors present, and sensitivity of receptors  
🗑
what is the process of blood concentration from administration to the site of action?   absorption, distribution, membrane permeability elimination, , ect.  
🗑
Blood can be repeatedly sampled, making it....   the best way to determine drug concentration  
🗑
If the blood concentration- time profile reflects the amount of drug at the site of action, the maximum therapeutic response would occur....   at the onset of action  
🗑
what drug would not be typically monitored with peak and trough blood concentrations?   promethazine (anti-histamine)  
🗑
a drug would be eliminated from the system within......   five times the half life  
🗑
unionized drugs are   passively diffused thorugh membranes  
🗑
to transfer a drug out of dosage form and into the blood, it has to   absorb  
🗑
