EXCELLENCE
When a drug enters the bloodstream.
Absorbed
The diminished or reduced effect of a drug when another drug is present.
Antagonism
A term expressing correlation. In graphs of functional relationships between two
variable, changes in one variable (ex. Drug effect) associated with changes in
another (drug dose) are represented.
As a function of
The portion of the original drug dose that reaches its site of action or that reaches
a fluid in the body that gives it access to its site of action.
Bioavailability
,In research, to be able to account for variables that may affect the results of a
study
to control
A more diffusible substance is more easily entered into or "receptive" of another.
Diffusibility
When a drug charges from solid to liquid by mixing it with a liquid.
Dissolved
The transport of drugs by the blood to their site(s) of action in the body.
Distribution
The minimum effective dose of a drug.
Drug potency
The dose at which a given percentage of individuals show a particular effect of a
drug.
effective dose
,The most intense, or peak, level of a drug effect.
Efficacy
In this context, in a series of events, what happens in a later event that preceded
it.
Feedback
When a substance is separated, or "freed", from its salt base. The separated form
of the substance is thus called
Freebase
The amount of time that must pass for the amount of drug in the body to be
reduced by half.
half-life
When the effects of one drug are modified by the presence of another drug.
Interact
The dose of a drug at which a given percentage of individuals die within a
specified time.
, Lethal dose
The process by which the body breaks down matter into more simple
components and waste.
metabolism
The branch of pharmacology that concerns the biochemical and physiological
effects of drugs and their mechanisms of action.
Pharmacodynamics
Refers to the study of "what the body does to the drug" and includes the main
processes of absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (known as the
acronym ADME)
Pharmokinetics
The kind, as opposed to quantity, of effect.
Qualitative
Effects of a drug other than those of central interest; used most often in
reference to the other-than-therapeutic effects of medications, such as the side
