Study Notes
Drug Names and Classifications
- Chemical names are also known as scientific names
- Chemical names describe the drug's molecular structure
- IUPAC names are the most important naming system
- Generic names are used instead of brand names
- Proprietary names are another name for brand names
- Trademark names are brand names
- Copyright names are brand names
- Therapeutic action, organ systems, mechanism of action, and chemical properties are used to classify drugs based on ATC system level 1
- Chemical components are classified based on level 5 of ATC system
Pregnancy Categories
- Category X drugs have demonstrated fetal risks, and there are no benefits that outweigh the risks to the fetus.
- Category N drugs do not have established categories.
- Category A drugs have demonstrated no risks to the human fetus based on trials.
- Category D drugs have demonstrated risk to the human fetus, but the benefits outweigh the risk to the fetus
Drug Schedules
- Schedule I drugs have high potential for abuse and addiction, and are only safe for medical use under strict supervision.
- Schedule II drugs are safe for medical use under strict medical supervision
LASA Medications
- LASA medications have similar physical structures, packaging, drug names, and similar spellings, or pronunciation.
- Illegible writing, incomplete knowledge of drug names, differences in clinical uses, and similar packaging/labels are risk factors for medications.
- Tall man lettering is a strategy used to reduce errors in the procurement of LASA medications.
- Writing parts of the medication name in upper case helps differentiate LASA medications.
Metric system
- The metric system is the legal system of measurement in the U.S.
- It uses the decimal system
- It includes gram, meter, and liter
Drug Risk Management
- The FDA considers a drug to be safe if the benefits of using it outweigh the risk to patients.
- At the assessment stage of the drug risk management process, benefit-risk decisions are made to ensure patients' safety.
Drug Classification and Metabolism
- High-alert medications require monitoring as they have a narrow therapeutic margin, and can cause serious adverse effects with minimal dosage change
- The risk evaluation and management strategy (REM) is used to monitor high-alert drugs
- First-order kinetics describes the proportional relationship between the drug's rate of metabolism and the amount of unmetabolized drugs left in the body.
- Phase I metabolism encompasses reactions like hydrolysis and oxidation.
- Phase II metabolism includes reactions such as glucuronidation and conjugation
- Renal excretion pathways are a primary means of drug removal
- Drugs are categorized based on their risk factors, potential benefits, and contraindications
Drug Formulation and Administration
- Suspensions are heterogeneous mixtures, not filtered, and use low-speed mixers for preparation
- Solutions require careful consideration of solubility characteristics of each active ingredient
- Emulsions are mixtures of immiscible liquids. Oil-in-water emulsions are not greasy, and water-in-oil emulsions are usually for oral use.
- Creams are for topical use
- Ointments often include insoluble substances, and are water-based.
Drug Interactions
- Drug interactions (e.g., with ibuprofen, aspirin, serotonin reuptake inhibitors [SSRIs], and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs [NSAIDs]) can affect drug efficacy and safety.
- Interactions that increase the risk of gastrointestinal bleeding need to be considered.
Drug Distribution
- Multiple factors affect drug distribution rates, including permeability of membranes, tissue binding, receptor affinity and regional pH.
Drug Calculations
- Various rules (Clark's Rule, Young's Rule) are used to calculate appropriate drug dosages for children based on their weight or age, comparing to adult dosages.
