    Study Notes

    Drug Standards and Regulations

    • Pure Food and Drug Act (June 30, 1906): Signed by President Theodore Roosevelt, marking the establishment of legal standards for medical and pharmaceutical substances.
    • United States Pharmacopeia (USP): The official compendium sets standards for drugs, including purity, quality, and strength, recognized by government agencies.
    • National Formulary (NF): Merged with USP in 1975, creating a unified national compendium for pharmaceuticals.
    • Dosing Categories:
      • Category C: Adverse effects in animal studies; potential benefits may justify use in pregnant women despite risks.
      • Category D: Positive evidence of human fetal risk; benefits may still warrant use.

    Drug Dosage and Administration

    • Usual Dosage: Amount expected to produce the intended medicinal effect in adults.
    • Usual Dosage Range: Prescribed amounts within typical medical practice.
    • Pediatric Dose: Dosage specifically for children.
    • Initial Dose: Amount required to reach desired concentration in the bloodstream.
    • Therapeutic Dose: Dose given to achieve the desired therapeutic effect.
    • Prophylactic Dose: Administered to prevent illness before exposure.

    Drug Stability and Expiration

    • Expiration Date: Limits the time a drug can be dispensed or used.
    • Types of Stability:
      • Chemical Stability: Retains chemical integrity and labeled potency.
      • Microbiologic Stability: Resistance to microbial growth.
      • Physical Stability: Preservation of the drug's appearance and other physical characteristics.
      • Toxicologic Stability: Consideration of adverse effects due to instability.

    Methods of Enhancing Drug Stability

    • Water Elimination: Reducing water content to prevent hydrolysis; can involve waterproof coatings or tightly closed containers.
    • Liquid Substitutes: Using alternatives (e.g., glycerin, propylene glycol) to replace or reduce water in formulations.
    • Solvent Use: Anhydrous vegetable oils in injectables to reduce hydrolytic decomposition.

    Rate Reactions in Drug Stability

    • Zero-order Kinetics: Drug loss is constant over time; independent of concentration.
    • First-order Kinetics: Drug loss is proportional to remaining concentration; dependent on time.
    • Oxidation: Prevented using antioxidants, which stop the oxidative chain reactions that could lead to stability loss.

    Important Legislation

    • Drug Price Competition and Patent Restoration Act: Allows applications for generic drug copies through abbreviated new-drug applications (ANDA).
    • Prescription Drug Marketing Act (1987): Aims to protect against misbranded or adulterated drugs in the marketplace.
    • Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act: Regulates labeling claims for dietary supplements.

    Therapeutic Considerations

    • Concomitant Drug Therapy: The influence of drug interactions may modify therapeutic effects; awareness of polypharmacy is critical.
    • Tolerance: Ability to endure the effects of a drug with continuous use, potentially requiring increased dosage for the same effect.
