A drug is any chemical that can affect living processes - Answer---How do you define
the word drug?
Pharmacology can be defined as the study of drugs and their interaction with living
things - Answer---Define pharmacology
study of effect of drugs in man (as compared to animals or comparative pharmacology -
Answer---Define clinical pharmacology
also known as therapeutics, pharmacotherapeutics emphasizes the disease state and
its characteristics including therapy for and use of drugs in prevention and treatment of
condition - Answer---what are pharmacotherapeutics?
Drugs used to destroy or eliminate pathogenic cells or organisms. The term is usually
restricted to anti-infectives and cancer chemotherapy. - Answer---what are
chemotherapeutic agents?
Toxicology deals with the effects of drugs. Toxicity is measured through the Therapeutic
Index. - Answer---what is toxicology and how do we measure a drugs toxicity?
, therapeutic index is a ratio that measures toxicity. The ratio is found by putting the dose
*capable of killing 50% of animals (LD50) over than required to acheive a beneficial
effect in 50% of animals (ED50).
In clinical practice the THERAPEUTIC INDEX is described as the ratio of the dose that
causes toxicity over the dose that provides therapeutic effect. - Answer---What is the
therapeutic index?
Tolerance is the hyporeactivity that occurring from chronic exposure to a drug.
Achievement of the same effects of the drug requires larger and larger doses. -
Answer---what is tolerance?
Cross tolerance may happen when tolerance occurs across drugs of the same class or
across drugs that have the same pharmacological effects - Answer---What is cross
tolerance and how does it occur?
Tolerance to opioids, barbiturates, and alcohol - Answer---what are some examples of
neurological adaptation/ cellular tolerance to drugs?
metabolic drug tolerance occurs when the body has an increased rate of elimination of
the drug. - Answer---What is metabolic drug tolerance?
enzyme induction which occurs when there is an increased activity of enzymes (the
drug transport system) - Answer---what is the most common form of metabolic
tolerance?
pharmacodynamic processes determine the nature and intensity of the response. It is
essentially the effect of the drug ON the body.
EX: Target Organ, receptors, proteins, physiological effect etc. - Answer---What is
pharmacodynamics?
Pharmacokinetic processes determine how much of an admin- istered dose gets to its
sites of action. There are four major pharmacokinetic processes: (1) drug absorption, (2)
drug distribution, (3) drug metabolism, and (4) drug excretion. *These processes can be
thought of as the impact of the body on drugs* - Answer---What is pharmacokinetics?
what are the four major pharmacokinetic processes?
