    Study Notes

    Pharmacology and Pharmacy Key Terms

    • Nutraceutical: A non-drug substance administered orally to support normal body function, improving animal health.
    • Agonist: A drug that activates a receptor, mimicking the action of an endogenous substrate.
    • Hydrophilic: Refers to substances that dissolve easily in water.
    • Efficacy: The ability of a drug to produce a desired effect upon binding to its receptor.
    • Therapeutic Drug Monitoring: Involves periodic measurement of drug levels in the bloodstream to ensure efficacy and safety.
    • Pharmacodynamics: Refers to what a drug does to the body, encompassing the effects and mechanisms of action.
    • Extra Label Use: The use of drugs in a manner not specified in the approved labeling, such as using human insulin for treating diabetes in dogs.
    • Parenteral: Refers to the administration of drugs via injection rather than orally.
    • Antagonist: A substance, like Naloxone, that blocks the action of a substance (e.g., opioids) at a receptor.
    • Steady State: When drug administration equals elimination, leading to a constant blood concentration of the drug.
    • Therapeutic Blood Level: The optimal concentration of a drug in the bloodstream for it to be effective without causing adverse effects.
    • Half Life: The duration it takes for the drug concentration in the body to reduce by half, critical for determining dosing intervals.
    • Lipophilic: Refers to substances that are efficiently absorbed across cell membranes due to their affinity for lipids.
    • Bioavailability: The percentage of an administered drug dose that reaches systemic circulation and is available for therapeutic effect.
    • Biotransformation: The process by which the body chemically alters a drug.
    • Prescription (Rx): A legal authorization for a drug to be dispensed.
    • Drug Compounding: The preparation of personalized medications, such as flavored formulations for easier administration.
    • Dose Dependent: Reactions that are predictable and increase in likelihood with increased drug dosage.
    • Idiosyncratic Reactions: Unpredictable reactions that occur after several days of treatment, often linked to immune system responses.

    • NSAIDs: Inhibit cyclooxygenase, reducing prostaglandin synthesis.
    • Digitoxin: Enhances cardiac muscle contraction by inhibiting Na+/K+/ATPase.
    • Organophosphate: Blocks metabolism of acetylcholine via acetylcholinesterase inhibition.
    • Apomorphine: Induces sedation as a dopamine receptor agonist.
    • Trimethoprim: Inhibits folate synthesis in bacteria.
    • Furosemide: Inhibits Na+/K+/2Cl- transporter, reducing sodium and water reabsorption.
    • Pyrethrins: Block fast sodium channels to slow action potential conduction.
    • Famotidine: Acts as a histamine antagonist.
    • Heparin/Aspirin: Both inhibit clot formation by affecting prothrombin to thrombin conversion.
    • Enalapril: Another ACE inhibitor acting as a vasodilator.
    • Omeprazole: Functions as a proton pump inhibitor.
    • Sulfamethoxazole: Blocks bacterial folic acid production.
    • Diphenhydramine: Binds to histamine receptors, counteracting allergic responses.
    • Lidocaine: Prevents action potential conduction by blocking fast sodium channels.
