Pharmacokinetics, Pharmacodynamics Flashcards
(98 cards)
RATE and EXTENT of DRUG ABSORPTION from dosage form
Bioavailability
RATE and RELATIVE AMOUNT at which intact form of drug appears systemic circulation
Bioavailability
study of rate processes and their relationship to responses in humans and animals
Pharmacokinetics
Rate processes
Absorption
Distribution
Metabolism
Excretion
Changes in concentration of drug in body
Pharmacokinetics
What the body does to drug
Pharmacokinetics
Relationship between drug concentration at site of action and pharmacologic response
Pharmacodynamics
What the drug does to the body
Pharmacodynamics
Entry of drug into systemic circulation
Absorption
Form of administration with no absorption
Form of administration with 100% bioavailability
No loss of drug
IV
Bioavailability formula
(AUC ORAL/AUC INJECTED) x 100
Most to least available forms of administration
IV > IM > Subcutaneous > Oral
Acidic drugs are best absorbed in
the stomach
Basic drugs and stomach acid:
rapidly solubilized
most important site for drug absorption
small intestine
Slowly absorbed drugs are absorbed in the
large instestine
rate at which the drug solution leaves the stomach and enters duodenum
Gastric Emptying Rate
Decrease in Gastric Emptying rate
Decrease in rate of absorption (drug possibly degraded)
Decrease in onset of action or therapy (drug stays in stomach too long)
Factors affecting Gastric Emptying (5)
1 Volume 2 Temperature 3 Body position 4 Drug property 5 Patient factors (disease, hunger, anxiety)
Volume of ingested increased material affects GER
Initially an increase in GER -> decrease
Bulky materials vs liquid…
Empty more slowly
Fatty meal: GER
decreases
Carbohydrate-rich meal: GER
decreased
Hot temperature-meal: GER
increased
