Q

Distribution: plasma protein binding

A

Med that binds to proteins to have a slower release. If they can not bind to a protein they start working immediately which may cause a problem. Caution on multiple meds having high protein properties. They then compete for the proteins

Distribution: blood brain barrier
Some meds never cross this barrier, never reach the brain
25
Distribution: placental barrier
Most drugs cross this
26
Distribution: cardiac function

29
Pharm: agonists
Drugs bind to receptors site to help, mimic those receptors
30
Pharm: antagonistic
