Q

applied to skin or mucous membranes
local effect
absorption is slow and unpredictable

A

creams, ointments, gels, lotions

26
Q
systemic absorption
controlled release mechanisms 
used in place of oral
avoids first pass metabolism
available as multi-day therapy
small molecules 
affected by pressure and temp
irritating
A

transdermal patches

27
Q

the movement of a drug from its site of administration into the central compartment

A

absorption

28
Q

the fraction of unchanged drug reaching systemic circulation following administration by any route

  • iv administration
  • other routes may be <100%
A

bioavailability

29
Q

main route of transmembrane movement for most drugs

drug molecule penetrate by diffusion along a concentration gradient

lipid-soluble drugs diffuse most rapidly across the membrane

A

passive diffusion

30
Q

ion trapping: acidic drug will accumulate on the more basic side of the membrane and a basic drug on the more acidic side

A

influence of pH on ionizable drugs

31
Q

requires energy to move solutes against an electrochemical gradient
-Na/K ATPase

A

active transport

32
Q

transport of solutes in between cells

tight junctions limit this type of movement

A

paracellular transport

33
Q

rate of diffusion away from the site of administration is directly proportional to the concentration

A

concentration

34
Q

dissolution of the tablet, interactions among the various ingredients

A

physical state of formulation and dissolution rate

35
Q

increases drug degradation since PCN is sensitive to stomach acid

A

penicillin

36
Q

more time in the stomach may cause gastric irritation

A

aspirin

37
Q

absorption is the most rapid from highly vascular tissues

intramuscular injection: deltoid vs gluteus maximus

muscle vs fat

A

vascularity and blood flow

38
Q

to cross the plasma membrane

A

lipid solubility

39
Q
  • well perfused organs receive the most drug initially

- delivery to muscle, most viscera, skin and fat is slower

A

organ perfusion/blood flow

40
Q

determines the concentration gradient between blood and the organ

skeletal muscle has a larger capacity than the brain

A

size of the organ

41
Q

organs with high lipid content will dissolve a high concentration of lipid soluble agents rapidly

A

solubility

42
Q

binding of a drug to macromolecules in the blood or a tissue compartment increase the drug concentration in that compartment

A

binding

43
Q

relates the amount of drug in the body to the concentration of drug in blood

A

volume of distribution

44
Q

movement of drugs between the central compartment and the peripheral compartment

A

two-compartment model

45
Q

plasma concentration is highest immediately after the IV bolus but then rapidly decreases the drug distributes into the peripheral compartment

A

distribution phase

46
Q

after a distribution reaches equilibrium, plasma concentration decreases at a constant rate

A

elimination phase

47
Q

thiopental?

A

a general anesthetic

48
Q

what are the types of plasma proteins?

A

albumin

alpha 1 acid glycoprotein

49
Q

this plasma protein binds acidic drugs

A

albumin

50
Q

this plasma protein binds basic drugs

A

alpha 1 acid glycoprotein

51
Q

only free drug that exerts a biologic effect

A

protein binding and drug action

52
Q

fraction of bound drug determined by?

A

drug concentration
affinity of binding sites
number of binding sites

53
Q

condition and diseases that affect protein binding?

A

hypoalbuminemia

acute phase reactions responses increase alpha 1 acid glycoprotein

54
Q

many drugs accumulate in tissues and generally reversible

A

tissue binding

55
Q

drugs that accumulate

  • tetracycline
  • heavy metals
A

bone

56
Q

stores lipid soluble drugs

low blood flow to fat makes it a stable reservoir for drug

patient variability

A

fat

57
Q

product of metabolism which has pharmacologic effect

may have weaker or stronger effects than the parent compound

example
-morphine to morphine-6-glucuronide and normophine; both active

A

active metabolites

58
Q

product of metabolism without pharmacologic effect

A

inactive metabolites

59
Q

metabolite with harmful properties like morphine to morphine-3-glucuronide

A

toxic metabolites

60
Q

metabolism of a this produces the active metabolite

i.e.- heroin

A

prodrug

61
Q

metabolism of the drug prepares it for elimination

A

elimination

62
Q

the volume of plasma that is filtered of drug per unit time

A

clearance
