WGU: D116 Advanced Pharmacology
Unit 2
Absorption - ANS-The drug's movement from the blood to the interstitial space of tissues and
from there into cells.
Agonist - ANS-Molecules that set off receptors.
Antagonist - ANS-Produce their outcomes through preventing receptor activation via
endogenous regulatory molecules and tablets.
Drug class - ANS-a group of medications which have comparable systems, the same centered
mechanism, a similar mode of motion, and/or is used to treat the equal sickness or
circumstance.
Elimination - ANS-The mixture of metabolism and excretion
Excretion - ANS-The movement of medicine and their metabolites out of the frame.
Half-lifestyles - ANS-The time required for the amount of a drug int the frame to lower with the
aid of 50%.
Medication adherence - ANS-The quantity to which sufferers take their medicines as prescribed
by their issuer.
Medication reconciliation - ANS-A manner to maintain an correct and up-to-date listing of
medicinal drugs for all sufferers between all levels of health care shipping.
Medication remedy control - ANS-Promoting tremendous drug remedy results by means of a
proactive method.
Metabolism - ANS-The enzymatically mediated alteration of drug shape.
Partial agonist - ANS-An agonist that only has moderate intrinsic activity. The maximal effect is
lower than a full agonist. Can behave as an agonist or antagonist.
Pharmacodynamics - ANS-The observe of the biochemical and physiologic outcomes of
medicine at the body and the molecular mechanisms by means of which the ones outcomes are
produced.
