    Study Notes

    Pharmacology and Drug Effects Summary

    • Drug misuse, abuse, addiction, and physical dependence are distinct terms with specific definitions.
    • Side effects are non-deleterious drug effects related to pharmacological properties or drug receptors.
    • Adverse effects are undesirable, deleterious drug effects occurring after standard therapeutic doses.
    • Adverse effects can be pharmacological, cytotoxic, or immunological in nature.
    • Overdose toxicity results from administration of doses higher than therapeutic, and is dose-dependent.
    • Toxic doses are classified as minimum toxic dose, median toxic dose, and maximum toxic dose.
    • The therapeutic index is the ratio between a median harmful dose and a median effective dose of a drug.
    • Idiosyncratic drug reactions are unusual, abnormal responses to a drug, generally dose-dependent and occur in genetically susceptible individuals.
    • Drug allergy is an immunologically mediated, adverse drug effect that reoccurs upon re-exposure to the drug.
    • A drug may cause an allergic reaction if it has a molecular weight higher than 6000 and can function as a hapten.
    • The Gell and Coombs classification categorizes allergic reactions into four types.
    • Teratogens are agents that, when administered during pregnancy, can cause abnormal in utero development or malformations.
