Sublingual: When rapid effect is needed right away
Subcutaneous: Destroy or inactivated in the GI
Tract Intramuscular: Used for drugs with poor oral
absorption Topical: For local effects on skin and eyes

Pharmaceutics is the study of how various dosage forms influence the way
in which the drug affects the body/ Administration of dosage form,
dissolution ofdrug into body/ manipulating chemical compound.
Pharmacokinetics is the study of what the body does to the drug,
including absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion/ Absorption,
distribution, metabolism, excretion.
epr
Pharmacodynamics is the study of what the drug does to the body/ Drug-
receptor interaction.
2. The drug naltrexone is given to prevent relapse or cravings in
individuals who use opioids. It binds to opioid receptors blocking
endogenous agonist and other opioid drugs from binding and having an
of
effect. Naltrexone is a/an
Competitive agonist (binds to the same site of agonist)

,3. Due to the many chronic diseases associated with aging the elderly
can have decreased blood flow to the liver. With age, there can also be a
decrease in liver enzymes, which can increase the duration of a drug in
the patient’s systems. Which pharmacokinetic process is affected in this
scenario?
Metabolism (stored in the body)/ cytochrome P-450 enzymes/ liver/
Grapefruit and statins

of the individual effects it refers to
Synergism: When the combined effect of two drugs is greater than the
sum of their individual effects
