Study Notes
Pharmacokinetic Processes
- Key pharmacokinetic processes include absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion.
- These processes determine how a drug is absorbed into the body, distributed throughout tissues, metabolized by the liver, and eliminated from the body.
Drug Binding and Barriers
- The term "protein binding" describes the binding of a drug to plasma proteins.
- Drugs must cross blood-brain and placental barriers to reach central nervous system sites and fetal circulation respectively.
Drug Naming Types
- Drug names can be classified into three primary types:
- Chemical Name: the precise chemical structure of the drug
- Generic Name: the non-proprietary name approved for use
- Brand Name: the trade name given by a pharmaceutical company
- A specific type of name not commonly recognized as part of these categories is not mentioned.
Desirable Drug Effects
- The term "therapeutic effect" refers to the desirable effects produced by a drug when it is administered.
Pharmacotherapeutics Components
- Pharmacotherapeutics discusses various components such as drug indications, mechanisms of action, potential side effects, and contraindications.
- A specific component not associated with pharmacotherapeutics is excluded from this discussion.
