(BUNDLES)
Beneficial Potentiative Drug-Drug Interaction - ANS✔✔--Use of Beta Blockers and
Diuretics together for hypertension will provide better control blood pressure. What type
of drug interaction is this?
Harmful potentiative Drug-Drug interaction - ANS✔✔--Use of diazepam together with
Morphine will have additive CNS depression and could lead to respiratory distress.
What type of drug interaction is this?
Pharmacodynamics - ANS✔✔--The process by which a medication works on the
body.
Pharmacokinetics - ANS✔✔--The process by which drugs are absorbed, distributed
within the body, metabolized, and excreted.
Pharmacogenomics - ANS✔✔--The study of the influence of genetic factors on drug
response that result in the absence, overabundance, or insufficiency of drug-
metabolizing enzymes
Medication side effect - ANS✔✔--a nearly unavoidable secondary effect of a drug
produced at therapeutic doses which is generally predictable and with an intensity that
is dose-dependent
Adverse Effect - ANS✔✔--A drug-induced, secondary effect of a drug that produces a
change in a patients condition that is noxious, harmful or unpleasant, which requires
treatment or reduction or discontinuation of the drug and which usually occurs at
therapeutic doses.
Type A adverse drug reactions - ANS✔✔--exaggerated, but otherwise expected
pharmacological effect of a drug -> predictable and dose dependent -> ex. toxicity of
overdose, side effects, secondary effects, drug interactions
Type B adverse drug reactions - ANS✔✔--idiosyncratic effects (not expected) ->
dose independent and unpredictable -> intolerance, hypersensitivity, pseudo allergic,
idiosyncratic
Drug tolerance - ANS✔✔--the tendency for larger doses of a drug to be required over
time to achieve the same effect
, Physical drug dependence - ANS✔✔--condition where a person's body becomes
unable to function normally without a particular drug
Psychological dependence - ANS✔✔--a condition in which a person believes that a
drug is needed in order to feel good or to function normally
Allergic reaction - ANS✔✔--An immunologic hypersensitivity reaction resulting from
the unusual sensitivity of a patient to a particular medication; a type of adverse drug
event.
Idiosyncratic or paradoxical reaction - ANS✔✔--When a drug may cause a totally
unexpected and often opposite effect in a few patients
Carcinogenic reaction - ANS✔✔--medications and environmental chemicals that are
thought to cause cancer
Teratogenic reaction - ANS✔✔--Refers to the drug induced damage that develops in
the fetus
Beneficial potentiative drug-drug interaction - ANS✔✔--Aspirin and Codeine are both
analgesic drugs and when administered concurrently the combo provides better pain
relief than either one alone. What type of drug interaction is this?
Harmful potentiative Drug-Drug interaction - ANS✔✔--Concurrent use of aspirin with
Coumadin will significantly increase each others inhibitory effects on blood coagulation,
resulting in an increase risk for bleeding. What type of drug interaction is this?
Beneficial inhibitory drug interaction - ANS✔✔--Use of Naloxone after an overdose of
Meperidine is an example of what type of drug interaction?
Beneficial inhibitory drug interaction - ANS✔✔--Giving Protamine when there is
excessive bleeding from overdose of Heparin is an example of what type of drug
interaction?
Harmful inhibitory drug interaction - ANS✔✔--Giving Naloxone to a patient who is
physically dependent to Morphine will reverse Morphines effects provoking an acute
withdrawal syndrome. What type of drug interaction is this?
Harmful inhibitory drug interaction - ANS✔✔--Administering loperamide and Milk of
Magnesia together will cancel each others actions producing no benefit for the patient
either way. What type of drug interaction is this?
