Question
Answer
Define Pharmacokinetics   show
🗑
What is drug absorption?   show
🗑
show Requires cellular energy to move the drug from an area of lower concentration to an area of higher concentration. Used to absorb electrolytes, such as sodium and potassium, as well as some drugs such as Levodopa.  
🗑
What is passive transport?   show
🗑
show A unique form of active transport that occurs when a cell engulfs a drug particle. Commonly employed to transport fat-soluble vitamins.(A,D,E,and K)  
🗑
show Route of administration Patient medical history First-pass effect Increased blood flow to absorption site Pain and stress High-fat meals Drug formulation Drug-drug and food-drug interactions  
🗑
What is drug distribution?   show
🗑
What factors can effect drug distribution?   show
🗑
What is drug metabolism?   show
🗑
show certain diseases genetics environment developmental changes  
🗑
show Elimination of drugs from the body  
🗑
Define Pharmacodynamics   show
🗑
Define Pharmacotherapeutics   show
🗑
show Occur between drugs or between drugs and foods that interfere with lab results or produce physical or chemical incompatibilities.  
🗑
show additive effects potentiation (synergistic effect) antagonistic effects decreased or increased absorption, metabolism, and excretion  
🗑
Define adverse drug reaction   show
🗑
show secondary effects hypersusceptability overdose iatrogenic effects  
🗑
show Promote the action of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, also called parasympathomimetic drugs.  
🗑
show The action and metabolism of these drugs vary widely and depend on the affinity of the drug for muscarinic or nicotinic receptors.  
🗑
show Salivation bradycardia dilation of blood vessels constriction of bronchioles increased activity of the GI tract increased tone and contraction of the bladder muscles constriction of the pupils  
🗑
What are the pharmacotherpeutics of cholinergic agonists?   show
🗑
What are the adverse reactions to cholinergic agonists?   show
🗑
Define anticholinesterase drugs   show
🗑
Define anticholinergic drugs   show
🗑
show cholinergic agonist drug This drug is used to treat urinary retention and heartburn,  
🗑
show anticholinergic blocker Used before surgery to reduce oral, gastric, and respiratory secretions and prevent a drop in heart rate  
🗑
What is Atropine used to treat?   show
🗑
What is the pharmacological drug class for Neostigmine?   show
🗑
show Also called sympathomimetic drugs because they produce effects similar to those produced by the sympathetic nervous system.  
🗑
show An adrenergic drug class that stimulates the nervous system, constrict peripheral blood vessels, increase heart rate, and dilate the bronchi, such as epinephrine and norepinephrine  
🗑
Define adrenergic blocking drugs   show
🗑
show This drug class works by interupting the actions of the catecholamines epinephrine and norepinephrine at alpha receptors.  
🗑
What are the pharmacodynamics of alpha-adrenergic blockers?   show
🗑
What are the pharmacotherapeutics of alpha-adrenegic blockers?   show
🗑
Define beta-adrenergic blockers   show
🗑
What are the pharmacodynamics of beta-adrenergic blockers?   show
🗑
What are the pharmacotherapeutics of beta-adrenergic blockers?   show
🗑
show Used to relieve musculoskeletal pain or spasm and severe musculoskeletal spasticity.  
🗑
What is the pharmacological drug class for Dantrolene?   show
🗑
show This drug helps with spasticity in patients with cerebral palsy, MS, spinal cord injury, and stroke.  
🗑
What is the chemical name for Valium?   show
🗑
show This drug class is a muscle skeletal relaxant but also has anticonvulsants.  
🗑
What is the pharmacological drug class for Baclofen?   show
🗑
show This drug is a Benzodiazepine thats used to treat muscle spasms as well as spasticity caused by chronic disorders.  
🗑
show Also called competitive or stabilizing drugs, are derived from curare alkaloids and synthetically similar compounds  
🗑
show This drug is a depolarizing neuromuscular blocking drug thats used to treat short term muscle relaxation.  
🗑
show This drug is a dopaminergic drug used to improve motor function of the brain.  
🗑

🗑
What is a subcutaneous injection?   show
🗑
What is a pharmacological drug class?   show
🗑
What is a pharmacotherapeutic drug class?   show
🗑
show A drug that is inactive when taken but becomes active when metabolized.  
🗑
show Disopyramide Amantadine Buclizine, Cyclizine, Meclizine, and diphenhydramine Haloperidol,phenothiazines, and thioxanthenes Cyclobenzaprine Orphenadrine Tricyclic and Tetracyclic antidepressants  
🗑
show Treatment used on a patient without prior diagnosis, based off of practical experience rather than on pure scientific data.  
🗑
show a process by which molecules of a solvent tend to pass through a semipermeable membrane from a less concentrated solution into a more concentrated one, thus equalizing the concentrations on each side of the membrane.  
🗑
