WGU: D116 Advanced Pharmacology
Unit 2
Absorption - ANS-The drug's movement from the blood to the interstitial area of tissues and
from there into cells.
Agonist - ANS-Molecules that set off receptors.
Antagonist - ANS-Produce their effects by means of stopping receptor activation by using
endogenous regulatory molecules and pills.
Drug magnificence - ANS-a group of medicinal drugs which have comparable systems, the
identical focused mechanism, a comparable mode of movement, and/or is used to treat the
same ailment or circumstance.
Elimination - ANS-The aggregate of metabolism and excretion
Excretion - ANS-The movement of medicine and their metabolites out of the frame.
Half-life - ANS-The time required for the quantity of a drug int the body to lower by means of
50%.
Medication adherence - ANS-The volume to which patients take their medications as prescribed
with the aid of their company.
Medication reconciliation - ANS-A procedure to keep an correct and up to date list of
medications for all sufferers among all stages of fitness care delivery.
Medication therapy management - ANS-Promoting wonderful drug remedy outcomes by way of
a proactive technique.
Metabolism - ANS-The enzymatically mediated alteration of drug shape.
Partial agonist - ANS-An agonist that most effective has moderate intrinsic pastime. The
maximal effect is decrease than a complete agonist. Can behave as an agonist or antagonist.
Pharmacodynamics - ANS-The take a look at of the biochemical and physiologic results of
medication at the frame and the molecular mechanisms by means of which those results are
produced.
