23
Q

24
Q

anti-hypertensive
drug was __ found to be effective in
treating malignant hypertension, but it
causes unusual hair growth on the
palms and other body areas

25
* Trials with people who have the disease which drug is thought to be effective * Patients are told about the possible benefit about the drug and are invited to participate in the study
phase 2
26
* Use drug in vast clinical market for surveillance of drug’s therapeutic effects * Prescribers are informed of all the known reactions to the drug and precautions required for its safe use
phase 3
27
FDA continually evaluates drugs in the market * Prescribers are obligated to report to the FDA any untoward or unexpected adverse effects associated with the drugs they are using * The FDA continually evaluates this information
phase 4
28
regulates the development and sale of drugs
FDA
29
the drug __ (sulfanilamide) was distributed in a vehicle of Ethelyn Glycol which was toxic to humans
ELIXIR
30
the drug __, sleeping aid by pregnant women, many babies were born with limp deformities
THALOMID
31
Adequate studies in pregnant women have not demonstrated a risk to the fetus in the first trimester of pregnancy, and there is no evidence of risk in later trimesters. levothyroxine, folic acid, magnesium sulfate
category A
32
Animal studies have not demonstrated a risk to the fetus but there are no adequate studies in pregnant women, or animal studies have shown an adverse effect, but adequate studies in pregnant women have not demonstrated a risk to the fetus during the first trimester of pregnancy, and there is no evidence of risk in later trimesters. * Metformin, hydrochlorothiazide, cyclobenzaprine, amoxicillin
category B
33
* Animal studies have shown an adverse effect on the fetus but there are no adequate studies in humans; the benefits from the use of the drug in pregnant women may be acceptable despite its potential risks, or there are no animal reproduction studies and no adequate studies in humans. * tramadol, gabapentin, amlodipine, prednisone
category C
34
There is evidence of human fetal risk, but the potential benefits from the use of the drug in pregnant women may be acceptable despite its potential risks. * Lisinopril, alprazolam, losartan, clonazepam
category D
35
* Studies in animals or humans demonstrate fetal abnormalities or adverse reaction; reports indicate evidence of fetal risk. The risk of use in a pregnant woman clearly outweighs any possible benefit. * Atorvastatin, simvastatin, warfarin, methotrexate
category X
36
responsible for the enforcement of these regulations (controlled substances

39
How the drugs affect the body * Study of drug mechanisms that produce biochemical or physiologic changes in the body. * Science dealing with interactions between the chemical components of living systems and the foreign chemicals including drugs that enter those systems
pharmacodynamics
