TERMS
• Log dose-effect curve• Therapeutic range of the drug is plotted where the dose
is increasing sharply• Max response of a drug may exhibit is plotted where the
curve plateaus
Max Response
![Page 5: LISA MAYO, RDH, BSDH CONCORDE CAREER COLLEGE PHARMACOLOGY BOARD REVIEW DH227](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081421/56649dc65503460f94abacb3/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
TERMS
• Potency (Jack Daniels)• Function of the amount of a drug to produce an effect• Potency is greater when the dose is smaller
• Efficacy (Beer & Jack Daniels)• Max intensity of effect or response what can be produced
by drug regardless of dose• Administering more drug will NOT increase the efficacy of
the drug but will often increase the probability of adverse drug rxn
• Efficacy and potency of a drug are unrelated!!

![Page 7: LISA MAYO, RDH, BSDH CONCORDE CAREER COLLEGE PHARMACOLOGY BOARD REVIEW DH227](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081421/56649dc65503460f94abacb3/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
SCHEDULE OF CONTROLLED SUBSTANCES
• Any Rx for a controlled substance requires a DEA #• A designate of the dentist may write the Rx but
the prescriber must personally sign the Rx in ink• Certain states require the use of triplicate Rx
blanks for Schedule II drugs
![Page 8: LISA MAYO, RDH, BSDH CONCORDE CAREER COLLEGE PHARMACOLOGY BOARD REVIEW DH227](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081421/56649dc65503460f94abacb3/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
ROUTES OF ADMINISTRATION
• ENTERAL: oral & rectal1. Oral (PO)• Slow onset• Safest, least expensive and most convenient• Large absorbing area present in small intestine
which causes slower onset of the drug’s effects and may result n stomach or intestinal irritation including nausea and vomiting
• Drugs derived from PRO sources may be activated by GI acidity or enzymes (ex: insulin)
• Drug blood levels are less predictable• Necessitates greater patient cooperation
![Page 9: LISA MAYO, RDH, BSDH CONCORDE CAREER COLLEGE PHARMACOLOGY BOARD REVIEW DH227](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081421/56649dc65503460f94abacb3/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
ROUTES OF ADMINISTRATION
• ENTERAL: oral & rectal1. Oral (PO)• Mechanism of uptake:• Orally delivered drugs must pass through
hepatic portal circulation FIRST (can inactivate other drugs) = called PHASE 1 REACTIONS or FIRST PASS EFFECT (next slide)• Amt of drug available to produce systemic
effect is reduced by first pass
![Page 10: LISA MAYO, RDH, BSDH CONCORDE CAREER COLLEGE PHARMACOLOGY BOARD REVIEW DH227](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081421/56649dc65503460f94abacb3/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
ROUTES OF ADMINISTRATION
1. Oral: Phase I Reactions• Drugs with high first-pass effect have LARGER oral
to parental dose ratio (ex: morphine), they require a LARGER dose
• Carried out by microsomal or cytochrome P-450 enzymes (also known as mixed function oxidases) in LIVER
• Concentration of these enzymes can be affected by drugs and environmental substances (ex: smoking)
• Alcohol tolerance is a common example of P-450 INDUCTION: metabolize drug more rapidly = need larger drug dose for effect
![Page 11: LISA MAYO, RDH, BSDH CONCORDE CAREER COLLEGE PHARMACOLOGY BOARD REVIEW DH227](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081421/56649dc65503460f94abacb3/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
ROUTES OF ADMINISTRATION
• ENTERAL2.Rectal• suppositories, creams, enemas• Can be used if pt is vomiting (EMESIS) or
unconscious• Poorly and irregularly absorbed rectally• Poor pt compliance
![Page 12: LISA MAYO, RDH, BSDH CONCORDE CAREER COLLEGE PHARMACOLOGY BOARD REVIEW DH227](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081421/56649dc65503460f94abacb3/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

• PARENTERAL1. Intravascular• Most rapid drug response – almost immediate• Absorption phase bypassed• More predictable response• Route of choice for emergency situation• Disadv: phlebitis (caused by local irritation),
drug irretrievability, allergy, side effects of high plasma drug concentrations
2. Intramuscular (next slide)
ROUTES OF ADMINISTRATION
![Page 14: LISA MAYO, RDH, BSDH CONCORDE CAREER COLLEGE PHARMACOLOGY BOARD REVIEW DH227](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081421/56649dc65503460f94abacb3/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
• PARENTERAL2. Intramuscular• Absorption occurs due to high blood flow in skeletal muscles• Useful to provide sustained effect• Deltoid or gluteal regions most common injection sites•Massage increases absorption
ROUTES OF ADMINISTRATION
![Page 15: LISA MAYO, RDH, BSDH CONCORDE CAREER COLLEGE PHARMACOLOGY BOARD REVIEW DH227](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081421/56649dc65503460f94abacb3/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
• PARENTERAL3. Subcutaneous• Route used to administer PRO products• May produce sterile abscess or hematoma• Ex: insulin and local anesthetics
4. Intradermal• Injected into epidermis• Ex: TB test
5. Inhalation• Provides rapid delivery of drug across large surface
area of respiratory mucosa• Ex: inhalers, nitrous oxide
ROUTES OF ADMINISTRATION
![Page 16: LISA MAYO, RDH, BSDH CONCORDE CAREER COLLEGE PHARMACOLOGY BOARD REVIEW DH227](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081421/56649dc65503460f94abacb3/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
• PARENTERAL6. Topical• Directly to body surface• Contraindicated if surface is ulcerated,
burned, or abraded• Local effect results, may have systemic
uptake7. Sublingual• Rapid, easily administered• Ex: nitroglycerine
ROUTES OF ADMINISTRATION
![Page 17: LISA MAYO, RDH, BSDH CONCORDE CAREER COLLEGE PHARMACOLOGY BOARD REVIEW DH227](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081421/56649dc65503460f94abacb3/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
FACTORS THAT ALTER DRUG EFFECTS
• Pt compliance• Pt weight• Tolerance• Pathologic state (kidneys, liver issues)• Time and Route of Admin• Sex• Age• Genetic variation
![Page 18: LISA MAYO, RDH, BSDH CONCORDE CAREER COLLEGE PHARMACOLOGY BOARD REVIEW DH227](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081421/56649dc65503460f94abacb3/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
PHARMACOKINETICS
1. Absorption2. Distribution3. Drug metabolism4. Elimination5. Factors that alter drug effects
![Page 19: LISA MAYO, RDH, BSDH CONCORDE CAREER COLLEGE PHARMACOLOGY BOARD REVIEW DH227](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081421/56649dc65503460f94abacb3/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
PHARMACOKINETICS
1. Absorption• Transfer of drug from site of administration to blood stream• May be active or passive• Rate and efficacy of absorption depend on route of
administration• Lipid soluble drugs readily move across MOST biological
membranes by diffusion (only drugs to pass blood-brain barrier)
• Absorption occurs at MANY sites in the body• Dependent on several factors: drug solubility, circulation at
deposit site, total surface area available for absorption, drug pH, temperature at site, mechanical factors (massaging site)
![Page 20: LISA MAYO, RDH, BSDH CONCORDE CAREER COLLEGE PHARMACOLOGY BOARD REVIEW DH227](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081421/56649dc65503460f94abacb3/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
PHARMACOKINETICS
2. Distribution• Process by which a drug reversibility leaves the
blood stream and enters the system• After being absorbed, drug is distributed to organ
with the highest blood flow (oral doses go to LIVER, sublingual goes to HEART)
• Dependent on: blood flow, capillary permeability (blood-brain barrier), binding of drugs to PRO (esp plasma albumin)
![Page 21: LISA MAYO, RDH, BSDH CONCORDE CAREER COLLEGE PHARMACOLOGY BOARD REVIEW DH227](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081421/56649dc65503460f94abacb3/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
PHARMACOKINETICS
3. Drug Metabolism• LIVER is major site for drug metabolism• Liver disease or present/past substance abuse can impair metabolism
![Page 22: LISA MAYO, RDH, BSDH CONCORDE CAREER COLLEGE PHARMACOLOGY BOARD REVIEW DH227](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081421/56649dc65503460f94abacb3/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
PHARMACOKINETICS
4. Elimination• Terminates the drugs effects• Drugs most often eliminated by BIOTRANSFORMATION
and/or EXCRETION into urine or bile• Renal excretion most important and most common via
URINE• May be excreted unchanged or as metabolites• Fat soluble drugs are NOT excreted in urine (need to
be metabolized into water soluble by liver)• Other elimination routes: Liver, kidney, lungs, bile, GI,
sweat, milk, exhalation, saliva, gingival crevicular fluid
![Page 23: LISA MAYO, RDH, BSDH CONCORDE CAREER COLLEGE PHARMACOLOGY BOARD REVIEW DH227](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081421/56649dc65503460f94abacb3/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
PHARMACOKINETICS
5. Factors that Alter Drug Effects• Pt compliance• Psychological factors• Tolerance• Pathologic state• Time of admin• Route of admin• Sex• Genetic variation• Drug interactions• Age, weight• Environment
![Page 24: LISA MAYO, RDH, BSDH CONCORDE CAREER COLLEGE PHARMACOLOGY BOARD REVIEW DH227](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081421/56649dc65503460f94abacb3/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
