Antimicrobial Therapy Introduction Flashcards
(104 cards)
High molecular weight proteins and peptides have to be administer from which route
Intravenous
Which route enables fast absorption for all solutions
IV
Which route is not suitable for big volume injections
Subcutaneous
Which substances should not be given by Subcutaneous route
Irritant substances
Cytotoxic drugs
Subcutaneous route enables fast and slow absorption for which solutions
Fast= aqueous
Slow= poorly soluble
Intramuscular route enables fast and slow absorption for which solutions
Fast= aqueous solutions
Slow and consistent= depot solutions
When Intramuscular route should be avoided
In patients with anticoagulant use
Which route is the most convenient,safe and economic
Oral
Most common drugs whose initial symptoms begin after more than 4 hours
Acetaminophen
Aspirin
Classification of untoward drug reactions
Desirable (therapeutic)
Undesirable —> Non-deleterious and Deleterious
Deleterious—> Pharmacological, Pathological,Genotoxic
Pharmacological Toxicity
Dose dependent effects of a drug over certain functions
Pathological Toxicity
Drug induced pathological tissue damage that is generally associated with high doses
When Necrosis or cell death happens
Genotoxicity
Situations in which drugs cause DNA damage
Dose independent reactions
Allergic reactions
Idiosyncratic reactions
Type of allergic drug reactions
Anaphylactic reactions —humoral
Cytolitic reactions —humoral
Arthus reactions —humoral
Delayed hypersensitivity —cellular
Anaphylactic reactions caused by
The release of high concentration of histamine, prostaglandins, Leukotrienes
Anaphylactic reactions mediated by
IgE
Anaphylactic reactions causes
Vasodilation
Hypotension
Edema
Inflammatory response
Which allergic reaction is the Fastest allergic response
Anaphylactic reactions
Cytolitic reactions caused by
Direct toxicity of ab for a certain ag in host tissues following ab tissue binding
Targets of Cytolitic reactions
Constituents of haematological system
Arthus reactions caused by
Precipitated ag-ab complexes
Delayed hypersensitivity caused by
Cellular immune system components like macrophages and T cells
Drug Investigation phases are composed of?
Phase 0—> preclinic
Phase 1—> healthy volunteers
Phase 2—> volunteer patients
Phase 3—> control groups
Phase 4—> post marketing
