How is a dose-response curve developed?
What data does it give?
How do the different agonists or antagonists change its shape?
1.A dose-response relationship between the amount of drug and the response to the drug.
2. Potency, Efficacy
3. It will either increase or decrease the effectiveness of the drug.
What is log phase?
When increase dose has minimal increase response
What is the proportional phase?
Where increase dose = increase response
What is the saturation phase?
Where increase dose no longer causes an increase response
What is drug potency ?
x-axis
The amount of drug needed to produce a desired effect.
