BOOSTED EXAM | NEWEST
3 main areas of pharmacology - Correct Answer✔✔-1) pharmaceutics
2) pharmacokinetics
3) pharmacodynamics
4 different drug interactions - Correct Answer✔✔-1) incompatibility
2) additive effect
3) synergism
4) antagonism
absorption - Correct Answer✔✔-movement of a drug from its site of
administration into the bloodstream ready to be distributed throughout
the body
additive effects - Correct Answer✔✔-when the combined effect of
two drugs is equal to the sum of each on their own
Adverse effect - Correct Answer✔✔-general term for undesirable and
potentially harmful drug effects
Agonist - Correct Answer✔✔-activates a physiologic response of
drug effect
agonist - Correct Answer✔✔-drug binds to the receptor and there is a
response
antagonism - Correct Answer✔✔-when the combined effect of two
drugs is less than the sum of their individual effects
, 2
antagonist - Correct Answer✔✔-drug binds to receptor and there is no
response; prevent the binding of other agonists
Antagonist - Correct Answer✔✔-interferes with other drugs or
substances from producing a drug effect
aqueous preparations - Correct Answer✔✔-syrup is a solution of
water and sugar to which a drug is added
biliary excretion - Correct Answer✔✔-excretion of drugs by the
intestines
Bioavailability - Correct Answer✔✔-measure of the extent of drug
absorption for a given drug and route (from 0-100%)
the route of administration influences the absorption
stomach acids/time of day/ age/ presence of food or other medication
body fat and its impact on drug response - Correct Answer✔✔-higher
body fat percentages means that there is less body water for the drug
to dissolve in therefore they may have a greater response to the drug
capsules - Correct Answer✔✔-gelatin capsules used to administer
drug powders or liquids
chemical name - Correct Answer✔✔-defines the chemical
composition of the drug
competitive antagonist - Correct Answer✔✔-drug competes with the
agonist, if it binds there is no response
cytochrome p-450 - Correct Answer✔✔-class of enzymes that is
found in the liver that metabolizes drugs
