ADME stands for
Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism, Excretion
Characteristics determined by concentration vs time profile
Onset, duration, intensity
Time between administration and pharmacological effect
Onset
How high the concentration is
Intensity
Length of time above MEC
duration
Minimum effective concentration
MEC
The study of the absorption, distribution, biotransformation, and elimination of xenobiotics
Pharmacokinetics
The study of the molecular, biochemical, and physiological effects of xenobiotics and their mechanisms of actions
Pharmacodynamics
Patho, pharmacodynamics, pharmacokinetics make up
pharmacotherapeutics
Most rapid onset route
Intravenous
Slowest onset route
Oral
Routes of administration
Ingestion, Inhalation, Dermal, Parenteral
IV, SC, IM, Intraperitoneal equal what route
Parenteral
Reduction of absorption impacts
intensity and duration
Reduction of speed of entry impacts
Onset
AI phenobarbital to hydroxyphenobarbital
Hydroxylation
AA procainamide to N-acetylprocainamide
acetylation
IA codeine to morphine
demethylation
AR
acetaminophen to reactive metabolite
Major routes of excretion
Renal (kidney) is primary
Biliary (feces)
Other routes of excretion
Pulmonary, salivary, mammary
Which antibiotic is a better choice in a patient with renal failure?
The one eliminated in bile not urine
Barriers that may reduce amount of drug that reaches site of action
gut wall metabolism, degraded in stomach, dose distributing away from target tissue, can’t enter membranes, enzymes
The fate of a drug once it enters the systemic circulation
Disposition
