Study Notes
Drug Schedules and Abuse Potential
- Schedule I has the highest abuse potential and is not accepted for medical use.
- Schedule V has the lowest abuse potential compared to Schedule III.
Prescription and Medical Use
- Schedule III and higher allow therapeutic use with a prescription.
Dependence and Abuse
- Schedule II may lead to severe physical and psychological dependence.
- Schedule IV has the highest potential for limited physical and psychological dependence.
Medication Types
- Biologics include hormones, antibodies, vaccines, and pills.
- Alternative medicine includes natural plant extracts, herbs, vitamins, minerals, and dietary supplements.
Drug Development and Testing
- Preclinical trials involve healthy animals and cultures of human cells to test drug effectiveness and adverse effects.
- Prototype drugs are used to develop new drugs.
Drug Names and Function
- Brand names are given by the company or manufacturer and have a trademark.
- Drug absorption determines the physiologic ability of a drug to reach its target cells and produce its effects.
- 'Achromycin' is a brand name.
Antibiotic Therapy
- The therapeutic goal of antibiotic therapy is to eliminate the infection.
- Antibiotics are often used to treat respiratory and soft tissue infections caused by bacteria like Streptococcus pneumoniae.
- Clinicians may administer broad-spectrum antibiotics if culture and sensitivity testing is not possible.
- Bacteriostatic antibiotics inhibit bacterial growth.
Bacteria and Sensitivity Testing
- Gram-negative bacteria have a characteristic outer membrane.
- Sensitivity tests determine the effectiveness of antibiotics against specific bacteria.
- Bacteria classified as 'resistant' in a sensitivity test do not respond to antibiotics.
- Empiric therapy is treating an infection before receiving test results.
Antibiotic Classes and Adverse Effects
- Broad-spectrum antibiotics target many types of bacteria and are associated with adverse effects.
- Prophylactic therapy is used to prevent infections.
Adverse Reactions and Infections
- A mild allergic reaction is called an intolerance.
- Superinfection is a primary consequence of antibiotic use.
- Nosocomial infections are acquired in hospitals or healthcare facilities.
Bacterial Reproduction and Antibiotics
- The DNA synthesis process of bacterial reproduction involves the formation of a replication fork.
- Ceftriaxone and Cefotaxime are examples of cephalosporin antibiotics.
