Study Notes

Veterinary Pharmacology Overview

  • The veterinarian-client-patient relationship is essential for dispensing prescription drugs, requiring assumed responsibility, sufficient knowledge, and follow-up.
  • Technician responsibilities include ensuring the correct drug and route, observing animal response, questioning unclear orders, creating accurate labels, explaining administration to clients, and recording in medical records.
  • Pharmacokinetics involves drug absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME), with factors like route of administration, drug form, properties, onset of action, and patient condition influencing blood concentration levels.
  • Drug absorption is influenced by bioavailability, mechanism, pH, solubility, dosage form, GI tract status, and interactions with other medications.
  • Drug distribution occurs from absorption to receptors, affected by concentration gradients, protein binding, and natural barriers in tissues like the brain, eye, and placenta.
  • Biotransformation/metabolism occurs in the liver and involves chemical reactions like oxidation, reduction, hydrolysis, and conjugation, influenced by factors such as species, age, nutritional status, and health status.
  • Drug excretion primarily occurs via the kidneys (urine) and liver (bile), with residues potentially remaining in animal products and a drug's half-life indicating its persistence in the body.
  • Pharmacodynamics studies how drugs produce physiological changes, considering factors like affinity, efficacy, and potency, and distinguishes between agonists, antagonists, and partial agonists.
  • The therapeutic index quantifies a drug's safety margin, while adverse drug reactions can include allergic, photosensitivity, abortion, and liver or kidney damage.
  • Drug interactions can alter pharmacologic responses, with classifications including pharmacokinetic, pharmacodynamic, and pharmaceutic.
  • Drug names can be chemical, code/laboratory, compendial, official, proprietary/trade, or generic, with each serving different purposes and naming conventions.
  • For example, a chemical name for a drug could be "6-chloro-α-methyl-9H-carbazole-2-acetic acid".
