Q

What is SR?

A

sustained release drugs, slowly absorbed but NOT effected by metabolism

21
Q

What is a depot?

A

pharmaceutical variants of parenteral drugs designed to increase half life and delay release, given IM

22
Q

Lipophilic drugs are metabolized where?

Hydrophilic?

A

Liver

Kidney

23
Q

Distribution quantifies the ____

A

extent of disposition of a drug

24
Q

What happens with a high Vd drug?

A

goes everywhere, high disposition and distribution

25
Q

What happens with a low Vd drug?

A

stays in plasma after administration

26
Q

What does drug bind to?

A

usually albumin, creating plasma protein bound drug that is INACTIVE

27
Q

if you increase the lipophilicity of a drug you ____ the Vd

A

increase

28
Q

if you increase the hydrophilicity of a drug you ___ the Vd

A

decrease

29
Q

Coumadin is ___ PPB

A

99%

30
Q

if 2 drugs are highly protein bound, they compete for binding sites. the loser has ____ effect

A

INCREASED, pronounced since unbound

31
Q

Malnourished people have hypoalbumin and require _____ doses of coumadin

A

lower

32
Q

pregnant women have hyperalbumin and require ___ doses of coumadin

A

increased (more protein bound drug so less active)

33
Q

How many 1/2 lives to eliminate a drug?

A

5-6

34
Q

Define steady state, important with what type of drugs?

A

drug absorption= drug metabolism

IV

35
Q

What is CP 450

A

cytochrome P450 system- family of enyzmes and isoenzymes which are responsible for degrading ingested substances into either or both more polar or inctive compounds (sometimes polar and active) in the liver

36
Q

Is CP 450 hydro or lipophilic?

A

lipophilic

37
Q

Where else is CP450 found?

A

intestines

38
Q

What are the two methods of elimination?

A

renal or fecal

39
Q

Define secretion **

A

movement of certain substances from efferent arteriole capillaries into tubles

40
Q

What blocks secretion?

A

probenecid

  • mixed with PCN is favorable drug interaction

T or F: drug concentration does not always correlate with effect or it correlates poorly

A

TRUE

44
Q

T or F: concentrations do not relate to drug administration times and infusion rates

A
