Oral, rectal, transdermal, etc.

drug does to the body. The mechanism of drug actions in living
tissues and drug-receptor relationships
Quiz :Pharmacotherapeutics - √Answer :The clinical use of
drugs to prevent and treat disease. Defines principles of drug
actions- the cellular processes that change in response to the
presence of drug molecules. Drugs are organized into
pharmacologic classes, like antihypertensives.
Ex: elderly taking baby aspirin to prevent strokes
,Quiz :Pharmacognosy - √Answer :The study of natural drug
sources, like plants, animals and minerals.
Quiz :Pharmaceutic Properties - √Answer :Different drug
dosage forms have different properties. Dosage form
determines the rate of drug dissolution. Enteric-coated tablets
protect patients from stomach irritation.
Quiz :Fastest Route of Oral Drug Absorption - √Answer :1. Oral
disintegration, buccal tabs, and oral soluble wafers
2. Liquids, elixirs, and syrups
3. Suspension solutions
4. Powders
5. Capsules
6. Tablets
7. Coated tablets
8. Enteric-coated tabletes
Quiz :Pharmacokinetics - √Answer :The study of what the body
does to the drug. A drug's time to onset of action, time to peak
effect, and duration of action.
-Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism, Excretion
Quiz :Pharmacokinetics: Absorption - √Answer :Movement of a
drug from its site of administration into the bloodstream for
distribution to the tissues.
Quiz :Bioavailability - √Answer :A measure of the extent of drug
absorption for a given drug and route. Giving a med through
the IV, you will have 100% of the med in the bloodstream, none
is lost.
Quiz :First-Pass Effect - √Answer :The initial metabolism in the
liver of a drug absorbed from the GI tract before the drug
reaches systemic circulation. If you give a PO med, the GI
system digests, liver transforms, and then it reaches the
, bloodstream. Not 100% of the med reaches the bloodstream,
you lose some as it travels.

drug is absorbed into the systemic circulation through the oral

binding, water-soluble vs fat-soluble, blood-brain barrier.
Quiz :Protein-Binding Drugs - √Answer :After you take the
medication, it is in the blood attached to protein, mainly
albumin. When the drug binds to albumin, it works as a slow
release, only the free unbound drug is therapeutic. The bound
drug is essentially inactive. Type of drugs that are protein-
binding are blood thinners. If a patient is deficient in albumin,
there is a problem of too much free-drug.
Quiz :Pharmacokinetics: Metabolism/Biotransformation -
√Answer :The biochemical alteration of a drug into an inactive
metabolite, a more soluble compound, a more potent active
metabolite, or a less active metabolite. Transformed mainly in
the liver, but also skeletal muscle, kidneys, lungs, plasma,
intestinal mucosa.
Quiz :Factors the Decrease Metabolism -
√Answer :Cardiovascular dysfunction, renal insufficiency,
