Flashcards

Chemical Antagonism

A type of antagonism where one drug directly binds to and inactivates another drug.

Advantage of Graphing Drug Dose

Graphs allow for easier understanding of drug dose compared to numerical data.

Log Dose-Response Curve: Shape

The log dose-response curve shape describes how the drug's effect changes with increasing dosage in a body.
