4. phase II emphasizes effectiveness against a placebo (100s of volunteers with the targeted disease)
5. phase III (1000s) studies populations, drug interactions and dosages. here the FDA and drug
sponsor agree on the structure of the phase III studies
6. New drug application: patient insert is submitted for approval, 6-10 months for a decision

, Pharmacokinetics
what the body does to the drug:
absorption, distribution, metabolism, elimination
Pharmacodynamics
what the drug does to the body - think how the drug is dynamic in the body
pharmacologic effect
what the drug does once it gets where it needs to go
clinical response
what happens when the drugs acts on its target
therapeutic index
the ratio of the dose that leads to toxic effect in 50% of cases to the dose that leads to therapeutic
effect in 50% of the cases
More Toxic: Narrow therapeutic index aka Digoxin, warfarin, cyclosporine, theophylline
acid absorption
Weak acid is absorbed when pH < pKa
HA form predominates
bioavailability
The amount of drug that reaches systemic circulation, highly dependent on absorption and limited by
first pass metabolism
bioequivalence
two drugs that have comparable bioavailability and similar times to achieve peak blood
concentrations
-FDA says brand and generic must have the same bioequivalence
CYP 450 inhibitors
increase therapeutic drug levels, toxicity is problematic
Azole antifungals (ex. Voriconazole, Fluconazole)
Erythromycin
Cimetidine
Verapamil
