The preparation and dispensing of drugs.
What is pharmacy?
A drug that stimulates a receptor to initiate a response is called
What is an agonist?
A site that receives a message or agent.
What is a receptor?
The two branches under the autonomic nervous system are
What is sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems?
Xopenex generic
What is levalbuterol?
A drug or biologic production for the diagnosis or treatment of a rate disease.
What an orphan drug?
This is the principle organ of drug metabolism.
What is the liver?
This receptor stimulates the muscles around the bronchi to relax.
What is B2?
Increased HR, blood pressure, glucose and bronchodilation are all effects of this nervous system
What is the sympathetic NS?
Tiotropium Bromide trade name
What is Spiriva?
Give 3 of the 5 advantages of aerosolized agents.
What are:
Smaller dose - Fewer side effects- Rapid onset - targets respiratory system - painless- relatively safe
The process when drug is inactivated after traveling through the liver is known as
What is the first-pass effect?
This receptor causes vasoconstriction when stimulated.
What is a or alpha?
List 3 responses to parasympathetic NS activation.
What are: pupil constriction, increased mucus/saliva, lowers HR, constricts bronchi, stimulates digestion
The dosage for unit dose albuterol sulfate solution.
What is 2.5 mg?
Absorption, distribution, metabolism, and elimination are all part of this phase.
What is pharmacokinetic phase?
The portion of an administered drug that is available to the lungs out of the total systemically available drug.
What is the L/T Ratio?
This receptor type receives AcH at our ganglia/synape
What is Nicotinic?
a chemical that transmits an impulse is called
What is a NT?
Ipratropium bromide's onset is:
What is 15 minutes?
When 2 or more drugs work together to produce a greater effect than they would individually is known as
What is drug synergy or synergism
The relationship between the chemical structure of a drug and its clinical effect is known as
What are the structure-activity relations? i.e. keyhole theory
When one drug blocks a receptor so the other drug cannot stimulate a response is called
What is competitive antagonism? i.e. our anticholinergics
The autonomic nervous system is generally considered this type of system. (which way do impulses travel?)
What is efferent?
Tiotropium Bromide
What is Spiriva?
This describes the phase that covers the drug mechanism of action and signalling.
What is pharmacodynamic?
The definition of this particle size distribution is where the mass of the drug is centered in a distribution of particle sizes. This is called:
What is Mass median diameter (MMD)/Mass median aerodynamic diameter (MMAD)?
List 2 of the four (4) types of drug signaling mechanisms. i.e. how a drug reaches a receptor and it's location
Lipid soluable (intracellular receptor)
G Protein-coupled receptors (GPCR) (transmembrane receptors)
Carrier mediated (extracellular receptors)
Drug regulated ion channels
I will also take Aquaous diffusion
This inactivates AcH.
What is cholinesterase?
Revefenacin
What is Yupelri?
