Prescribing is regulated by state BON - ANS ✔Prescribing basics
Providers name and address, Telephone
DEA
Pt name/DOB/Address
Name of Drug, strength, SIG(directions) with indication/Route and frequency, Quantity and
signature. - ANS ✔Proper RX
1: Heroin, SD, MJ
2: hydrocodone, cocaine, Methamphetamine, methadone, oxycodone, meperidine, fentanyl,
Adderall, Ritalin
3: codeine, ketamine, testosterone
4: Xanax, valium, soma, ambient, tramadol
5: antidiarrheal, antitussives, Lomotil, Lyrica - ANS ✔Drug Schedules: Most addictive to least
The effects of drug on the body. Receptors are large molecules usually proteins, that interact
and mediate the action of drugs - ANS ✔Pharmacodynamics
produce receptor stimulation and a conformational change every time they bind. Do not need
all available receptors to produce a maximum response - ANS ✔agonist
,drugs that have properties in b/w those of full agonist and antagonist. They bind to receptors
but when they occupy the receptor sites, they stimulate only some of the receptors. - ANS
✔Partial agonist
drugs with affinity for a receptor but with no intrinsic activity. Affinity allows the antagonist to
bind to receptors, but lack of intrinsic activity prevents the bound antagonist from causing
receptor activation. The block action of drugs (ex. Narcan) - ANS ✔antagonist
% of administered dosage of the drug that survives the first pass through the liver and reaches
the blood stream - ANS ✔Bioavailabity
Time required for the amount of a drug in the body to decline by 50%, drugs with shorter half-
lives must be administer frequently. 4.5-5.5 times the half-life to get steady state and to be
limited from the body - ANS ✔half life
absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion - ANS ✔what the body does to the drug
movement of absorbed drug in bodily fluids throughout the body to target tissue. Properties
affecting: lipid/water solubility, PH affects ionization of drug, protein binding, size of molecule
(smaller molecules are more able to diffuse)
Tissue: fat, bone, blood/brain barrier (only lipid soluble will pass), placental barrier (many drugs
can pass) - ANS ✔Distribution
unbound drug is free which is active, crosses membrane. Low plasma proteins result in more
free drug. Competition: when 2 highly bound drugs are given it increases the level of both drugs
- ANS ✔Protein binding
take place in the liver mostly. Chemical change of a drug structure to:
, Enhance excretion, inactivate the drug, increase therapeutic action, active a prodrug (inactive
until metabolized in the body into the active compound, ex: levodopa), increase or decrease
toxicity - ANS ✔Metabolism
enzymes constitute the most important of the phase I metabolizing enzymes (account for about
75% of drug metabolism in the liver)
Phase 2: conjugation reaction occur leading to large increases in hydrophilicity of the substrates
rendering them more readily excretable - ANS ✔CYP450
an agent that is metabolized by an enzyme into a metabolite and product and eventually
excreted - ANS ✔Substrate
compete with other drugs for a particular enzyme affecting the metabolism (decreased) of the
substrate and decreases the excretion of the substrate and increasing the circulating drug - ANS
✔Inhibitors
competes with other drugs for a particular enzyme affecting metabolism of the substrate
(increases) decreasing the efficacy of the drug - ANS ✔inducer
renal: passive glomerular filtration, active tubular secretion, tubular reabsorption, gi tract, lung,
sweat and salivary, mammary - ANS ✔excretion
study of the complete set of genetic information present in a cell, an organism, or species - ANS
✔genomics
the study of the influence of hereditary factors on the response of individual organisms to
drugs, and the study of variations of DNA and RNA characteristics as related to drug response -
ANS ✔pharmacogenetics
