How do you define the word drug? - Answer-A drug is any
chemical that can affect living processes
Define pharmacology - Answer-Pharmacology can be
defined as the study of drugs and their interaction with
living things
Define clinical pharmacology - Answer-study of effect of
drugs in man (as compared to animals or comparative
pharmacology
what is the most common form of metabolic tolerance? -
Answer-enzyme induction which occurs when there is an
increased activity of enzymes (the drug transport system)
What is pharmacodynamics? - Answer-pharmacodynamic
processes determine the nature and intensity of the
,2|Page
response. It is essentially the effect of the drug ON the
body.
EX: Target Organ, receptors, proteins, physiological effect
etc.
What is pharmacokinetics?
what are the four major pharmacokinetic processes? -
Answer-Pharmacokinetic processes determine how much
of an admin- istered dose gets to its sites of action. There
are four major pharmacokinetic processes: (1) drug
absorption, (2) drug distribution, (3) drug metabolism, and
(4) drug excretion. *These processes can be thought of as
the impact of the body on drugs*
what type of tolerance occurs when there is a decrease in
the number, or decrease in the sensitivity, of receptor
sites? - Answer-Down regulation
what kind of drugs block receptors? - Answer-betablockers
what are pharmacotherapeutics? - Answer-also known as
therapeutics, pharmacotherapeutics emphasizes the
,3|Page
disease state and its characteristics including therapy for
and use of drugs in prevention and treatment of condition
what are chemotherapeutic agents? - Answer-Drugs used
to destroy or eliminate pathogenic cells or organisms. The
term is usually restricted to anti-infectives and cancer
chemotherapy.
what is toxicology and how do we measure a drugs
toxicity? - Answer-Toxicology deals with the effects of
drugs. Toxicity is measured through the Therapeutic Index.
What is the therapeutic index? - Answer-therapeutic index
is a ratio that measures toxicity. The ratio is found by
putting the dose *capable of killing 50% of animals (LD50)
over than required to acheive a beneficial effect in 50% of
animals (ED50).
In clinical practice the THERAPEUTIC INDEX is described
as the ratio of the dose that causes toxicity over the dose
that provides therapeutic effect.
, 4|Page
what is tolerance? - Answer-Tolerance is the hyporeactivity
that occurring from chronic exposure to a drug.
Achievement of the same effects of the drug requires
larger and larger doses.
What is cross tolerance and how does it occur? - Answer-
Cross tolerance may happen when tolerance occurs
across drugs of the same class or across drugs that have
the same pharmacological effects
what are some examples of neurological adaptation/
cellular tolerance to drugs? - Answer-Tolerance to opioids,
barbiturates, and alcohol
What is metabolic drug tolerance? - Answer-metabolic
drug tolerance occurs when the body has an increased
rate of elimination of the drug.
The use of betablockers can also cause a change in the
sensitivity of receptors. What is this caused and how does
it occur? - Answer-Betablockers block receptors resulting
in increased the sensitivity of receptors. This is known as
Up Regulation
