Study Notes
Factors Affecting Drug Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism, and Excretion
- Shock can greatly reduce drug absorption.
- Drugs with a long half-life take longer to reach high levels in the body.
- Loading dose can help reach steady state concentrations earlier.
- Maintenance dose is required to maintain the desired drug levels.
- Multiple dosing and frequency can be achieved through constant infusion.
- Increasing the frequency of dosing reduces peaks and troughs of drug levels.
- Factors affecting drug absorption include lipid solubility, molecular size, ionization, and formulation.
- Factors affecting drug distribution include lipid solubility, water solubility, and plasma protein binding.
- Factors affecting drug metabolism clearance include lipid solubility, chemical groups, drug interactions, enzyme quantity, and diseases.
- Factors affecting drug excretion clearance include water solubility, ionization, drug interactions, drug transporters, blood flow to excreting organ, and diseases.
- Neonates have altered pharmacokinetics due to differences in absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion.
- Geriatric patients have altered pharmacokinetics due to changes in absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion, as well as disease-related factors.
