How is ramelteon (Rozerem) different from Z-drugs? When might it be advantageous? - ANSWER:
Ramelteon is a melatonin receptor agonist and has no direct effects on GABA. It affects sleep latency
(reducing the amount of time it takes to fall asleep). It is not a controlled substance and abuse
potential is low. It might be especially good for people suffering from jet-lag.

Briefly describe the concept of "therapeutic index." What does it mean and how does it relate to the
safety and efficacy of the drug in question? - ANSWER: Therapeutic index refers to the difference in
dose required to achieve a clinical effect and a toxic effect. If only small doses are required for a
clinical effect and very large doses are needed before a drug becomes toxic, then that drug is said to
,have a wide therapeutic index -- a little is helpful and it takes a lot to be harmful. A narrow
therapeutic index drug would be like cancer chemotherapy where the dose that is efficacious is near
the same dose that is toxic.
