,How does a drugs lipid solubility/hydrophobicity effect a drugs potency? Correct
Answer: Increases potency
Increased protein bindings leads to longer/shorter duration of action? Correct
Answer: Longer
Pharmacokinetics
1. Increased blood flow to the site of injection wlll have a ___ duration of action
of the LA
2. Increased lipid solubility will have a more ____ drug and ___ duration of action
(more drug diffuses to hydrophobic layer of membrane if more lipid soluble.
3. A lower pka, higher pH means a __ onset of aciton Correct Answer: 1. shorter
duration
2. potent , longer duration of actoin
3. lower pka, faster onset of action
pka: lowrer the pka, stronger the acid, gives up proton faster, so in non ionized
form
