Study Notes

Pharmacodynamics

  • Pharmacodynamics is the study of how drugs interact with the body to produce their effects.

Mechanism of Action

  • A drug's mechanism of action is an example of how a drug binds to a receptor or enzyme, leading to a specific response.

Factors Influencing Pharmacodynamic Response

  • Patient factors, such as age, genetics, and health status, can influence the pharmacodynamic response to a drug.
  • Drug factors, such as potency, efficacy, and receptor specificity, can also influence the pharmacodynamic response.

Pharmacokinetics

  • Pharmacokinetics is the study of how the body absorbs, distributes, metabolizes, and eliminates drugs.

Factors Influencing Pharmacokinetics

  • Patient factors, such as age, body composition, and organ function, can influence the pharmacokinetic properties of a drug.
  • Drug factors, such as solubility, lipophilicity, and dosing regimen, can also influence pharmacokinetics.

Bioavailability

  • Bioavailability refers to the proportion of a drug that is absorbed and reaches the systemic circulation.
  • An example of a drug's bioavailability is the percentage of an oral dose that reaches the bloodstream.
