First published in 1983, Drug Interaction Facts is the most comprehensive book available on
14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14
drug interactions. In addition to monographs listing various aspects of drug interactions, this
14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14
information is reviewed and updated by an internationally renowned group of physicians and
14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14
pharmacists with clinical and scientific expertise.

14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14
section of the Physicians’ Desk Reference (PDR) is most helpful to get information about this
14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14
drug?

b. Brand and Generic Name section 14 14 14 14
c. Product Category section 14 14
d. Product Information section 14 14
ANS: 1 4 B
A physician’s order would include the brand and/or generic name of the drug. The alphabetic
14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14
index in the PDR would make this section the most user friendly. Based on a physician’s order,
14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14
manufacturer’s information and classification information would not be known. The
14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14
Manufacturer’s section is a roster of manufacturers. The Product Category section lists
14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14

14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14
to date look up and downloadable resource about medicines. The American Drug Index is not
14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14
appropriate for patient use. The American Hospital Formulary is not appropriate for patient
14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14

d. Kefauver Harris Drug Amendment (1962) 14 14 14 14
ANS: 1 4 A
The Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act of 1938 authorized the FDA to determine the safety
14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14
of all drugs before marketing. Later amendments and acts helped tighten FDA control and
14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14
ensure drug safety. The Durham Humphrey Amendment defines the kinds of drugs that cannot
14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14
be used safely without medical supervision and restricts their sale to prescription by a licensed
14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14
practitioner. The Controlled Substances Act addresses only controlled substances and their
14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14
categorization. The Kefauver Harris Drug Amendment ensures drug efficacy and greater drug
14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14
safety. Drug manufacturers are required to prove to the FDA the effectiveness of their products
14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14
before marketing them.

7. Meperidine (Demerol) is a narcotic with a high potential for physical and psychological
14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14
14 dependency. Under which classification does this drug fall? 14 14 14 14 14 14 14
a. I
b. II
c. III
d. IV
ANS: 1 4 B
Meperidine (Demerol) is a Schedule II drug; it has a high potential for abuse and may lead to
14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14
severe psychological and physical dependence. Schedule I drugs have high potential for abuse
14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14
and no recognized medical use. Schedule III drugs have some potential for abuse. Use may
14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14
lead to low to moderate physical dependence or high psychological dependence. Schedule IV
14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14
drugs have low potential for abuse. Use may lead to limited physical or psychological
14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14
dependence.

8. What would the FDA do to expedite drug development and approval for an outbreak of
14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14
smallpox, for which there is no known treatment?
14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14
a. List smallpox as a health orphan disease. 14 14 14 14 14 14
b. Omit the preclinical research phase. 14 14 14 14
c. Extend the clinical research phase. 14 14 14 14
d. Fast track the investigational drug. 14 14 14 14
ANS: 1 4 D
Once the Investigational New Drug Application has been approved, the drug can receive
14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14
highest priority within the agency, which is called fast tracking. A smallpox outbreak would
14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14
become a priority concern in the world. Orphan diseases are not researched in a priority
14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14
manner. Preclinical research is not omitted. Extending any phase of the research would mean a
14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14
longer time to develop a vaccine. The FDA must ensure that all phases of the preclinical and
14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14
clinical research phase have been completed in a safe manner.
