Study Notes
Innovator Products
- A drug product that is marketed under a brand name by a manufacturer that has developed the product.
Pharmaceutical Equivalents
- Products with the same active ingredient, dosage form, strength, and route of administration.
Bioavailability
- Relates to the rate and extent of absorption of a drug from a pharmaceutical formulation.
Dissolution
- The process by which a solid drug substance becomes dissolved in a solvent.
Pharmaceutical Alternatives
- Drug products that contain the same active ingredient, but may differ in other characteristics such as dosage form, strength, or route of administration.
Bioavailable Formulations
- A solution is considered to be the most bioavailable oral drug formulation.
Maximum Volume for Intramuscular Injection
- The maximum volume to be injected via the intramuscular route is 2 mL.
Loading Dose
- The dose used in initiating therapy to yield therapeutic concentration, which will result in clinical effectiveness.
Fick's Law
- The rate of diffusion of a drug is directly proportional to the concentration gradient and the surface area, and inversely proportional to the thickness of the membrane.
Facilitated Diffusion
- A type of passive transport that uses transport proteins to facilitate the movement of molecules across the cell membrane.
Active Transport
- A type of transport that requires energy, often in the form of ATP, to move molecules across the cell membrane against their concentration gradient.
Pharmacokinetics
- The study of the movement of drugs within the body, including absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion.
Rate Constants
- Usually expressed in terms of the rate of absorption, distribution, metabolism, or excretion of a drug.
Peak Concentration Following IV Infusion
- The peak concentration following an IV infusion of a drug usually occurs immediately after the dose is given.
Graphical Method for Separation of Exponents
- A method used to separate the absorption rate constant from the elimination rate constant.
Therapeutic Drug Monitoring
- The process of measuring drug concentrations in the blood to adjust the dosage of a medication.
Assay Methods
- Radioimmunoassay, Gas Chromatography, Microbiological assay, and Enzyme multiplied immunoassay are common methods used for therapeutic drug monitoring.
Non-Linear Kinetics
- A change in one or more of the pharmacokinetic parameters during absorption, metabolism, and excretion due to saturation or overloading of processes.
First-Pass Metabolism
- The process by which a drug is metabolized by the liver before it reaches the systemic circulation after oral administration.
Bioavailability and Bioequivalence Studies
- A two-formulation, two-period, two-sequence non-replicate crossover design is the usual research design used for conducting bioavailability and bioequivalence studies.
Drug Binding to Protein
- A reversible process that can be considered linear or non-linear.
Importance of Drug-Protein Binding
- It can affect the distribution and elimination of a drug from the body.
