How does hypoalbuminemia affect the process of prescribing? - ANSWER Low albumin
= more free drug (bc the drug can't bind to albumin aka protein) = increased adverse effects
What is a Black Box Warning: - ANSWER is considered a contraindication to administer
that drug.
What is the drugs half-life? - ANSWER Half-life specifically means the amount of time it
takes for an administered drug to be halfway cleared from the system.
Peak of action: - ANSWER the time between drug administration and maximum
concentration of drug in the blood stream. Best therapeutic effect.
Duration of action: - ANSWER the time between onset of action and metabolism of
drug below the minimum needed for an effect. The length of time you have the drug in your
system.
According to the WHO what is the first step in the prescribing process? - ANSWER The
first step is to define the patient's problem
The second step is to - ANSWER specify the therapeutic objective

, Step 4 of the WHO approach: - ANSWER Start the treatment
Step 5 of the WHO approach: - ANSWER Educate the patient

Phase 1 of drug development: - ANSWER The drug is tested on healthy volunteers
Phase 2 of drug development: - ANSWER trials with people who have the disease for
which the drug is thought to be effective
Phase 3 of drug development: - ANSWER Large numbers of patients in medical
research centers receive the drug in phase 3. This larger sampling provides information
about infrequent or rare adverse effects. The FFA will approve a new drug application if
phase 3 studies are satisfactory.
Phase 4 of drug development: - ANSWER This phase is voluntary and involves
postmarket surveillance of the drug's therapeutic effects at the completion of phase 3. The
pharmaceutical company receives reports from doctors and other health care professionals
about the therapeutic results and adverse effects of the drug. Some medications, for
example, have been found to be toxic and have been removed from the market after their
initial release.
Explain first pass metabolism - ANSWER much of the drug is lost in the absorption
process. The liver metabolizes many drugs, thus reduces the bioavailabilty of the drug.
What is the fasted route of absorption: - ANSWER The fastest route of absorption is
inhalation, and not as mistakenly considered the IV administration.
