of action of drugs

,Pharmacoepidemiology - CORRECT ANSWER - the study of the use and effects of drugs
on large groups of people

What happens when chronic administration of an antagonists causes the number and sensitivity
of receptors to increase as a response to chronic blockade? - CORRECT ANSWER - up-
regulation
What would need to be done in up-regulation to counteract the increasing number of receptors? -
CORRECT ANSWER - higher doses of antagonist required
What is bioavailability? - CORRECT ANSWER - the percentage of a drug contained in a
drug product that enters the systemic circulation in an unchanged form after administration of the
product
