C: Trademark name designated by drug company Proper nouns, first letter capitalised e.g. MS Contin
D: Size differences Fat proportion
4. Why is PO so effective?
A: Intravenous (IV) pharmacological effect Most drugs administered slowly, helps prevent adverse reactions
B: R-ich blood supply L-ittle absorption in the mouth
C: Mood, temperature, altitude
D: Subcutaneous- Given beneath skin into connective tissue or fat, immediately beneath dermis
5. What is category A, B, C, D, X of the FDA drug scale for pregnant patients?
