Absorption Movement of a drug from the outside of the body into the bloodstream.
Adverse Drug Reaction (ADR) Same as adverse effect. A drug effect that is more severe than expected and has
the potential to damage tissue or cause serious health problems. It may also be
called a toxic effect or toxicity and usually requires intervention by the prescriber.
Adverse effect A drug effect that is more severe than expected and has the potential to damage
tissue or cause serious health problems. It may also be called a toxic effect or
toxicity and usually requires intervention by the prescriber.
Agonist An extrinsic drug that activates the receptor site of a cell and mimics the actions
of naturally occurring body substances (intrinsic drugs).
Allergic response Type of adverse effect in which the presence of the drug stimulates the release
of histamine and other body chemicals that cause inflammatory reactions. The
response may be as mild as a rash or as severe and life threatening as
anaphylaxis.
Antagonist An extrinsic drug that blocks the receptor site of a cell, preventing the naturally
occurring body substance from binding to the receptor.

Bioavailability The percentage of a drug dose that actually reaches the blood.
Black box warning A notice that a drug may produce serious or even life-threatening effects in some
people in addition to its beneficial effects.
Brand name A manufacturer-owned name of a generic drug; also called "trade name" or
"proprietary name."
Contraindication A personal or health-related reason for not administering a specific drug to a
patient or group of patients.
Cytotoxic Drug action that is intended to kill a cell or an organism.
Distribution (drug distribution) The extent that a drug absorbed into the bloodstream spreads
into the three body water compartments.
Drug Any small molecule that changes any body function by working at the chemical
and cell levels.
Drug therapy The planned use of a drug to prevent or improve a health problem.
