Study Notes
Angina Treatment
- Nitroglycerin's primary mechanism of action in treating angina is through vasodilation, which reduces the heart's workload and decreases oxygen demand.
Anti-Anginal Drugs
- Not an anti-anginal drug: none mentioned (but others like beta blockers, ACE inhibitors, etc.)
- Calcium channel blockers are a class of drugs known for their calcium channel blocking effects in the treatment of angina.
Isosorbide Mononitrate
- Common side effect: headache
Clinical Pharmacology
- Main focus: ensuring safe and effective use of drugs in patients
- Aspect: study of drug absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) in the body
- Role in drug development and clinical trials: helps in understanding how drugs behave in patients and optimizing drug development
- Component: Phase I, II, and III clinical trials
- Pharmacodynamics: primarily focuses on the effects of drugs on the body
- Aspect: helps in understanding how drugs behave in patients
Pharmacogenomics
- Primary focus: studying the genetic factors that influence drug response and toxicity
Clinical Pharmacy Practice
- Field: practice of drug therapy in hospitals and healthcare settings
Clinical Pharmacology Goals
- Aims to ensure: safe and effective use of drugs in patients
- Emerging topics: model-informed drug development, real-world data, and real-world evidence
- Role in drug development: ensures the safe and effective use of drugs in patients
- Focus in relation to patient outcomes: optimizing drug response and minimizing toxicity
- Primary aim of model-informed drug development: using mathematical models to optimize drug development and minimize trial failures
- Significance of real-world data and real-world evidence: provides valuable insights into drug efficacy and safety in real-world settings
- Contribution to reducing healthcare costs: optimizing drug use and minimizing adverse effects
- Role in ensuring safe and effective use of drugs: plays a critical role in reducing healthcare costs and improving patient outcomes
