Study Notes
Module 04: Common Prescription Drugs
- This module focuses on common prescription drugs, including antibiotics, antifungals, antivirals, and hormonal contraceptives.
- The information is presented through online modules, and a companion guide.
- Discrepancies between the guide and module content should be addressed in the module.
- The guide is not to be distributed to students not enrolled in the course, as this is a violation of Queen's University's Academic Integrity Policy.
Module 04 Table of Contents
- Introduction
- Section 01: Antibiotics, Antifungals, and Antivirals
- Section 02: Regulation of Fertility
- Conclusion
Module 04 Introduction
- Module 04 covers the mechanisms of action, therapeutic effects, and adverse effects of common prescription drugs (antibiotics, antifungals, antivirals, and hormonal contraceptives).
- The information in this module is valuable for completing Assessment 2.
- Watch the provided video for introduction from Jeanne Mulder, PhD.
- The video covers the topics of antibiotic, antivirals, antifungals, and hormonal contraceptives.
- Each drug type has a mechanism of action, therapeutic effects, and adverse effects explained.
- The module also covers hormonal contraceptives, including oral contraceptives, depo-provera, IUDs, and transdermal patches.
- The module provides valuable information on prescription drugs with potential first-hand knowledge.
- Module learning outcomes include understanding antibiotic, antifungal, and antiviral drug mechanisms and the different types of hormonal contraceptives, their mechanisms and drawbacks.
Module 04 Assessment 2
- Assessment 2 is an individual written report.
- The assessment requires applying information from Modules 01-04 by answering posed questions.
- Specific details can be found on the assessment page in the online learning environment.
- Student responses and quiz interactions are recorded, not graded, and visible to the instructor.
- The questions on the quizzes are examples of the types that may appear on the midterm and final exams.
Section 01: Antibiotics, Antifungals, and Antiviral Agents
- Introduction to antibiotics, antifungals, and antivirals, with focus on antibiotic agents, given higher focus than antifungals and antivirals.
- Antibiotics definition as a chemical substance that inhibits bacterial growth or destroys them.
- Discussion on the structure of bacterial cells and the difference between Gram-Positive and Gram-Negative bacteria.
- Classification of antibiotics by spectrum (narrow and broad spectrum).
- Antibiotics classification by biochemical pathways (cell wall synthesis, DNA synthesis, protein synthesis, and metabolic inhibitors).
- Discussion about cell wall synthesis inhibitors, including penicillin, and cephalosporins, their mechanisms of action, and adverse effects.
Section 02: Regulation of Fertility
- Introduction to medical science contributing to precise reproductive control via developments in contraception.
- Focus on hormonal contraception (oral contraceptives, injectable contraceptives, intrauterine devices, transdermal patches).
- Explanation of the monthly ovarian cycle, hormones, and factors involved.
- Mechanisms of action of hormonal contraceptives are described, including the inhibiting of hormone release, sperm migration, and ovum implantation.
- Types of oral contraceptives (fixed combination, multiphasic, and progestin-only pills).
- Discusses pros and cons of different hormonal contraceptive routes of administration
- Adverse effects of combination oral contraceptives (mild to serious).
Module 04 Conclusion
- Summary of the module's key topics (antibiotics, antifungals, antivirals, and hormonal contraceptives) and their mechanisms of action, therapeutic effects, and adverse effects.
- Importance of the content for Assessment 2.
