Q

Describe Drug Metabolism
how are all substances absorbed

drug is metabolized reduced effect before reaching circulation system
certain drugs have significant hepatic metabolism

31

true

40
Q

How many doses are typically needed before a steady-state is achieved

A

5-7 doses

41
Q

Describe Pharmacodynamics

A

biochem/physiological effects of drugs/mean of their actions is described as relationship between drug [ ] at site of action and response

42
Q

What is the most common mechanism of action
