DEFINITIONS

DRUG

Is any small molecule that when introduced into the body

affect the functions.

PHARMACODYNAMIC :

Is the interaction between the drug & the body.

OR :

The effect [ desired & undesired ] of the drug on the body

PHARMACOKINETIC :

Is the way of the body to handle the drug.

[ through absorption, distribution, metabolism & excretion ]

EFFICACY :

Is the relation between occupancy of receptor sites & the

pharmacological response.

OR :

Is the degree of response regardless the dose.

POTENCY :

Is the dose or concentration of the drug required to produce

a given response.

OR :

Is the minimal dose required for the needed response.

THERAPEUTIC INDEX :

Is the ratio between TD50 : ED50.

TD50 is toxic dose that produce undesired effect.

ED50 is effective dose that produce desired effect.

Page 79: Copy of 2009-02-09 Saudi Health Exam

IDIOSYNCRASY :

Is unusual drug response.

i.e. single individual may respond differently to the same drug

at different times during the course of treatment.

HYPERSENSITIVITY :

Is allergic or any other immunological response to the drug

TOLERANCE :

Is the decreasing of the intensity of response during the

treatment. [ the patient feels to increase the dose of the

drug to get the same response ]

TACHYPHYLAXIS :

When responsiveness decreases rapidly after drug administration

BIOAVAILABILITY :

Measure of speed & completeness of absorption from

the site of administration.

CLEARANCE :

Is the measure of the ability of the body to eliminate the

drug through the urine[ relative to the plasma drug conc. ]

VOLUME OF DISTRIBUTION :

Is the measure of the space in the body available to contain

the drug.

Page 80: Copy of 2009-02-09 Saudi Health Exam

HALF LIFE :

Is the time required to attain 50% of steady state

OR :

Is the time to decay 50% of the steady state.

MAINTENANCE DOSE :

The dose needed to maintain a chosen steady state.

LOADING DOSE :

Is the amount of the drug needed to achieve a given steady

state conc. In the plasma.

XENOBIOTICS :

Substances absorbed across the lungs, skin or ingested with

food or drinks or drugs for recreational purposes.

ORPHAN DRUGS ;

Drugs for rare diseases.

1- What is the mechanism of drug permeation ?

1- Aquous diffusion

through gut or cornes.

2- Lipid diffusion

through cell membranes.

3- Special carriers

as B.B.B.

Diabetes Mellitus [ DM ]

IDDM NIDDM

Insulin Dependant DM Non Insulin Dependant DM

Type 1 Type 11

Type 1 : Type 11 :

Is a severe form. Mainly in juveniles & Mainly in adults ( obese )

rare in adults ( non obese & elderly ) insulin is insufficient or

Occurs due to infections as mumps the tissue sensitivity to

or exposure to destructive substance insulin is low or B cells impaired

as Cytotoxics. There is ketosis. to respond to Glucose.

Page 82: Copy of 2009-02-09 Saudi Health Exam

* Insulin Structure :

Beef insulin is differ in 3 amino acids. But Pork is differ in one only.

Human Pancreas has Islets of Langerhams which has 4 types of cells

AUTONOMIC NERVOUS SYSTEM [ ANS ]

Q- What is the difference between ANS & endocrine system ?

** Is in the mode of transmission

in case endocrine system via blood - borne hormones.

in case ANS via chemical transmission as acetylcholine & nor-epinephrine

And both of them is used to control & integrate the body functions.

Q- The nervous system is two divisions :

a- Autonomic b- Somatic

What is the difference ?

as blood flow , cardiac output

The somatic to control the activities that under conscious.

as respiration , exercise.

** The autonomic to control the activities that are not under conscious

Q- The autonomic nervous system is sub-divided into :

a- Sympathetic b- Parasympathetic

What is effect on the body activities of both of them ?

Organ Sub-organ Sympathetic Parasympathetic

action receptor action receptor

** The main uses of Parasympathomimetics :

1- Glaucoma

There are two types of glaucoma

1- Primary 2- Secondary

It is caused by surgical procedures

( chronic )

Angle closure Open angle

( Acute ) ( chronic )

* for the closure angle type :

is kind of emergency & needs medication then surgery.

as Pilocarpine , physostigmine , Carbachole & Methacholine.

* for the open angle type :

only use medication

2- Postoperative ileus & Congenital megacolon

Use Bethanichole & Neostigmine

3- Myasthenia Gravis :

Use Edrophonium & Neostigmine

*** Antidote :

1- Atropine 2- Pralidoxime

also Atropine is used before anesthesia to reduce secretions & retina

examination & as anti-spasmodic.
