,Trade Name - ANSWER ✔✔AKA proprietary name. The drug has a
registered trademark, use of the name is restricted by the drug's patent

to the body. The mechanism of drug actions in living tissues and drug-
receptor relationships
Pharmacotherapeutics - ANSWER ✔✔The clinical use of drugs to
prevent and treat disease. Defines principles of drug actions- the cellular
processes that change in response to the presence of drug molecules.
Drugs are organized into pharmacologic classes, like antihypertensives.
Ex: elderly taking baby aspirin to prevent strokes
Pharmacognosy - ANSWER ✔✔The study of natural drug sources,
like plants, animals and minerals.
Pharmaceutic Properties - ANSWER ✔✔Different drug dosage forms
have different properties. Dosage form determines the rate of drug
,dissolution. Enteric-coated tablets protect patients from stomach
irritation.
Fastest Route of Oral Drug Absorption - ANSWER ✔✔1. Oral
disintegration, buccal tabs, and oral soluble wafers
2. Liquids, elixirs, and syrups
3. Suspension solutions
4. Powders
5. Capsules
6. Tablets
7. Coated tablets
8. Enteric-coated tabletes
Pharmacokinetics - ANSWER ✔✔The study of what the body does to
the drug. A drug's time to onset of action, time to peak effect, and
duration of action.

, Bioavailability - ANSWER ✔✔A measure of the extent of drug
absorption for a given drug and route. Giving a med through the IV, you
will have 100% of the med in the bloodstream, none is lost.
First-Pass Effect - ANSWER ✔✔The initial metabolism in the liver of
a drug absorbed from the GI tract before the drug reaches systemic
circulation. If you give a PO med, the GI system digests, liver transforms,
and then it reaches the bloodstream. Not 100% of the med reaches the
bloodstream, you lose some as it travels.
Enteral Route of Drug Administration - ANSWER ✔✔The drug is
absorbed into the systemic circulation through the oral or gastric mucosa
or the small intestine. Types of enteral are oral, sublingual, buccal, and
rectal.
Parenteral Route of Drug Administration - ANSWER ✔✔Though an
IV, IM, subcutaneous, intradermal, intraarterial, intrathecal, and
intraarticular
Topical Route of Drug Administration - ANSWER ✔✔Skin, eyes, ears,
nose, lungs, rectum, vagina
