Q

How can renal excretion be enhanced?

A

forced diuresis or manipulate the pH of the ruin to trap ionized drug in urine (higher pH will trap ionize a lipid soluble drug)

Q

What can be determined using the volume of distribution and clearance?

25
ke
elimination rate constant
26
How is ke determined?
by the rate limiting step in clearance (either metabolic or renal)
27
What is happening at max intensity?
absorption and elimination of drug are equal
28
How are zero order drugs related to absorption rates?
carrier mediated with saturated carrier protein at Vmax - not sensitive to drug concentration
29
How are first order drugs related to absorption rates?
absorption is sensitive to drug concentration
30
What do absorption kinetics tell us?
how much dose to give
31
What equation describes zero order rate? What is the slope?
Ct = k’a t (an amount absorbed per unit time) slope = ka (straight line)
32
What equation describes first order rate? what is the slope?
Ct = M/Vd X (1 - e ^-Ka t) (a proportion of unit time) slope = log slope
33
zero order elimination
an amount per unit time - is saturated (at Vmax)
34
What is the danger with zero order elimination?
have to be careful with toxicity - small changes can make a drug toxic
35
What is an example of a drug with zero order elimination?
alcohol - .02 eliminated an hour
36
When Ct
first order rate
37
When Ct >> Km
zero order rate
38
Half life applies to……
first order elimination kinetics
39
T1/2 equation
t1/2 = 0.693 / ke —> A CONSTANT NUMBER THAT CAN BE LOOKED UP IN A BOOK!
40
If clearance of a drug is large then the half life is….
small
41
Steady state
drug enters a compartment at a constant rate and is eliminated in a manner proportional to the concentration in the Vd. when the elimination increases to equal the rate of entry = steady state
42
How many half lives does it normally take to reach steady state?
4
43
Single doses casues what?
no steady state - dose interval is much greater than t 1/2
44
Repeated administrations causes what?
steady state (plateau) level - dose interval is less than or equal to t 1/2
45
Does route of administration affect Css average?
NO - you still need 4 half lives to get to steady state
46
Does dose affect time to achieve steady state?
NO SHUT UP
47
Fast elimination rate = ?
fast to steady state (slow elimination rate = slow to steady state)
48
How does achievement of steady state compare to elimination?
mirror image (takes 4 half lives to eliminate from steady state
49
What is the loading dose?
rapid attainment of therapeutic plasma level (not steady state) - need maintenance doses to keep at steady state
50
Iatrogenic
predictable adverse drug reaction - may be dose dependent
51
Spontaneous
not predictable - not dose dependent. includes allergies (once they occur once though they become predictable) and idiosyncratic
52
tolerance
decreased response to continued administration due to receptors and/or metabolism
53
cumulation
drug administered faster than it can be eliminated
54
ED50
effective dose in 50% of the population
55
TD50
toxic dose in 50% of the population
56
LD50
lethal dose in 50% of the population
57
Margin of safety
TD50 - ED50
58
Therapeutic Index
TI = TD50 / ED50
59
What is the ideal clinical for therapeutic index?
TD 1 / ED 99
60
What is a good therapeutic index?
larger the number the better - more doses between therapeutic window and toxicity
61
What will changing the pH or other electrolytes do?
alter excretion or protein binding
62
How is excretion changed?
active transport inhibitors or simple competition for a transporter
63
How is metabolism changed?
induction or inhibition
64
What does protein binding and displacement have the potential of causing?
toxicity
65
How is absorption changed/
charcoal binds drug molecules - decreases absorption
66
What are examples of direct molecular drug interactions?
antibiotics and calcium
