1. Knowledge of pharmacology aids the dental professional in x x x x x x x


a. obtaining a patient’s health history. x x x x


b. administering drugs in the office. x x x x


c. handling emergency situations. x x


d. selection of a nonprescription medication. x x x x


e. All of the above. x x x




ANS: E x


All of the choices are true. Because many of our patients are being treated with drugs, knowledge of phar
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x


macology helps in understanding and interpreting patients’ responses to health history questions. Knowl
x x x x x x x x x x x x


edge of the therapeutic and adverse effects of medications obviously helps in their proper administration
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x


in the office. Emergency situations may be caused by drugs or treated by drugs; thus, knowledge of phar
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x


macology is of great help, especially because a rapid response is sometimes required. A clear understand
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x


ing of the concepts of drug action, drug handling by the body, and drug interactions will allow the dental
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x


practitioner to make proper judgments and grasp the concepts relevant to new drug therapies on the mark

Nutritional or herbal supplements are quite capable of causing adverse effects. The majority of nutritional
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x


or herbal supplements do not carry FDA approval for treating disease states. These supplements are drugs
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x


and can cause adverse effects and interact with different drugs.

4. Which type of drug name usually begins with a lowercase letter?
x x x x x x x x x x


a. Brand name x


b. Code name x


c. Generic name x


d. Trade name x




ANS: C x


Before any drug is marketed, it is given a generic name that becomes the ―official‖ name of the drug. Eac
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x


h drug is assigned only one generic name selected by the U.S. Adopted Name Council, and the name is n
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x


ot capitalized. The brand name is equivalent to the trade name and is capitalized. Although the brand nam
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x


e is technically the name of the company marketing the product, this term is often used interchangeably w
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x


ith the trade name. The code name is the initial term used within a pharmaceutical company to refer to a d
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x


rug while it is undergoing investigation and is often a combination of capital letters and numbers, the lett
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x


ers representing an abbreviation of the company name.

x x x x x x x


a. pharmaceutical company manufacturing it. x x x


b. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). x x x x


c. U.S. Adopted Name Council. x x x

x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x


ouncil. The generic name is not selected by the FDA or the Federal Patent Office. The pharmaceutical co
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x


mpany manufacturing the drug clearly has an influence on the generic name given its drug, but the final d
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x


ecision is not the company’s. x x x x

x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x


eneric name. It is not capitalized, and it becomes the ―official‖ name of the drug. The pharmaceutical com
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x


pany discovering the drug gives the drug a trade name. The trade name is protected by the Federal Patent
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x


Law for 20 years from the earliest claimed filing date, plus patent term extensions. Although the brand na
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x


me is technically the name of the company marketing the product, it is often used interchangeably with th
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x

erapeutically equivalent are said to differ in x x x x x x


a. potency.
b. efficacy.
c. bioavailability.
d. therapeutic index. x




ANS: C x


A preparation can be chemically equivalent yet not biologically or therapeutically equivalent. These pro
x x x x x x x x x x x x x


ducts are said to differ in their bioavailability. The potency of a drug is a function of the amount of drug re
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x


quired to produce an effect. The efficacy is the maximum intensity of effect or response that can be produ
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x


ced by a drug. The therapeutic index is the ratio of the lethal dose for 50% of the experimental animals di
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x


vided by the effective dose for 50% of the experimental animals. If the value of the therapeutic index is s
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x


mall, toxicity is more likely.
