What is the primary purpose of a graded dose-response curve in pharmacodynamics?
What is the primary purpose of a graded dose-response curve in pharmacodynamics?
- To quantify the relationship between drug dose and effect (correct)
- To determine the minimum effective dose of a drug
- To compare the efficacy of different drugs
- To predict the therapeutic index of a drug
What is the therapeutic response of a drug?
What is the therapeutic response of a drug?
- The maximum effect that a drug can produce
- The minimum dose of a drug that produces a response
- The response to a drug that results in a therapeutic effect (correct)
- The dose of a drug that produces a toxic response
What is the difference between a graded dose-response and a quantal dose-response?
What is the difference between a graded dose-response and a quantal dose-response?
- A graded dose-response is based on the dose of a drug, while a quantal dose-response is based on the concentration of a drug
- A graded dose-response is linear, while a quantal dose-response is non-linear
- A graded dose-response is used for in vitro experiments, while a quantal dose-response is used for in vivo experiments
- A graded dose-response describes the intensity of response, while a quantal dose-response describes the frequency of response (correct)
