Types of drug therapy (7) - correct answer <<<<<💕💕💕✔✔Acute
,Maintenance (HTN/bc)
Supplemental (insulin)

Idiosyncratic Effect - correct answer <<<<<💕💕💕✔✔Unexpected response to medication
Tolerance - correct answer <<<<<💕💕💕✔✔Declining response to a drug
Dependence - correct answer <<<<<💕💕💕✔✔Physiological/psychological need for a drug; needs
drug for normal function
