Term
Site of action:
Definition
the molecular site where the drug has a significant chemical interaction to produce a biological effect.
Term
Onset of action:
Definition
 the time it takes for the concentrated drug molecule at the site of action to become large enough to cause a noticable biological response
Term
bioequivalence:
Definition

a comparison of the amount and rate of drug entering the general circulation for two or more simular formulations for the same drug.

If the bioavailability of the drug is equal, they are bioequivilant.

Term
Therapeutic Equivilance:
Definition

the same clinical response when two products are compared.

Its determined by the bioavailibilty of the drug. if they are therapeutically equivilant, they are bioequivilant.

Term
Volume of Distribution:
Definition
the space in the body that is available to the drug.
Term
Passive diffusion:
Definition
when the drug penetrates the membrane due to solubility of the drug in the membrane.
Term
Active transport:
Definition
a binding site where the protien transports the compound.
Term
Routes of administration:
Definition

Oral

Sublingual and buccal

parenteral

topical

inhalation

Rectal

Term
pharmodynamics:
Definition
the study of the impact of drugs on the body
Term
Additive effects
Definition
the response of two or more drugs on the body. The same effect, nothing additional
Term
Synergist Effects:
Definition
getting a greater response from the drugs used together that would be expected.
Term
Antagonist effect
Definition
the second drug reduces the effect of the first drug
Term
tolerance
Definition
diminished response to a drug as a result of continuous use.
Term
affinity:
Definition
the ability of the drug to chemically bind with the receptor
Term
intrinstic efficacy:
Definition
the ability of the drug to either initiate or prevent a biological response
Term
dose -response principle:
Definition
as the concentration of the drug increases, the more drug molecule will occupy mroe receptors in the body which will produce a greater response in the body
Term
potency:
Definition
used to compare the dose of a drug required to produce a particular effect relative to the dose of another drug that acts by a similar mechanism to produce the same effect.
Term
ED50:
Definition
the effective dose of a drug produced in 50% of the population
Term
TD50:
Definition
THe toxic dose that is produced in 50% of the population
Term
LD50:
Definition
The lethal dose that will cause death in 50% in the population
Term
Steady State concentration:
Definition
when multiple doses of a drug, after being administered, leves oss becoming bioavailably equal to the rate of metabolism or excretion
Term
Dosing Interval:
Definition
Given so many times a day where drug clearance and drug absorbtion are equal
Term
Maintenance dose:
Definition
Dose administered at a regular dosing interval on a repetitive basis.
Term
Loading dose:
Definition
one or more doses are higher than the maintenance dose and administered at the beginning of therapy for achievin the therapeutic concentration quicker.
Term
FDA Function:
Definition
Oversees and regulates the manufacturing, repackaging and labeling of perscription drugs.
Term
DEA Functions:
Definition
Oversees licensure and certification of all locations where controlled substances are ordered, recieved, stored, administered, or dispensed.
Term
OSHA Functions:
Definition
Responsible for contamination, storage, disposal, and public exposure to medication risks
Term
FTC Functions:
Definition
Responsible for regulating medications transported ocer state lines that have not ye tbeen prescribed/dispensed to the patient.
Term
Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic act:
Definition
Established to regulate saftey, quality, purity, strength, and labeling of drugs.  1938
Term
Federal Comprehensive Drug Abuse Prevention and Control Act:
Definition
DEA assumes responsibility of regulating the manufacture, distribution, and dispensing of drugs that have potential of abuse.
