What abbreviations can you not use at UCH
ad, aid, qod, as, al, ad, au, os, ol, od, ou
which requires FDA evaluation: health claims or structural/function claims
health claims
3 things that determine drug category
medical use, abuse potential, potential for dependency
what does a drug in category 2 require
a doc to write in ink the script, cannot phone in
most common means of absorption
lipid diffusion passive
four factors that affect drug membrane passage
molecular size, lipid solubility, degree of ionization, concentration gradient
what means of administration fall into the following categories of bioavailability: 100, 75-100, 0-100
100- IV, 75-100: IM, subQ, sublingual, inhalation, transdermal, 0-100 is oral
how long does IV and inhalation take to effect
seconds to minutes- FASTEST
how long does sublingual, IM, subQ, and buccal take to take effect
5-15 minutes- intermediate
immediate release oral formulation- time to effect?
15-30 minutes
time to effect for transdermal, oral (enteric coated or sustained release drugs) and IM and SC (if depot forms)
HOURS- slowest
Formula for Loading dose
Cp(desired)*Vd
when pH<pKa, which is ionized (acids or bases?)
bases are ionized
when pH> pKa, which is ionized?
acids are ionized
4 areas of tight junctions where drugs have to pass THROUGH cells
GI, BBB, placenta, renal tubules (for REabsorption)
