Drugs used to destroy or what are chemotherapeutic agents?
eliminate pathogenic
cells or organisms. The
term is usually restricted
to anti-infectives and
cancer chemotherapy.
Toxicology deals with the what is toxicology and how do we measure a drugs
effects of drugs. Toxicity toxicity?
is measured through the
Therapeutic Index.
therapeutic index is a What is the therapeutic index?
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.
Tolerance is the what is tolerance?
hyporeactivity that
occurring from chronic
exposure to a drug.
Achievement of the same
effects of the drug
requires larger and larger
doses.

Cross tolerance may What is cross tolerance and how does it occur?
happen when tolerance
occurs across drugs of
the same class or across
drugs that have the same
pharmacological effects
Tolerance to opioids, what are some examples of neurological
barbiturates, and alcohol adaptation/ cellular tolerance to drugs?
metabolic drug tolerance What is metabolic drug tolerance?
occurs when the body
has an increased rate of
elimination of the drug.
enzyme induction which what is the most common form of metabolic
occurs when there is an tolerance?
increased activity of
enzymes (the drug
transport system)
pharmacodynamic What is pharmacodynamics?
processes determine the
nature and intensity of
the response. It is
essentially the effect of

receptors, proteins,
physiological effect etc.
