28
emax:measure of maximal response or efficacy
agonist:a drug that has both affinity and efficacy
atropine:commonly used as an antidote for AChE inhibitor poisoning
benztropine:muscarinic receptor antagonist
benzodiazepines:due to their large safety profile, this class has largely replaced barbiturates
basophilic stippling:typical sign of lead poisoning
spectrum of activity:number of different types of organisms that are sensitive to the drug
penicillin:this antibacterial class inhibits cell wall synthesis
hypersensitivity:major adverse effect associated with penicillin
vancomycin:a common antibiotic that disrupts cell wall and RNA synthesis
isoniazid:inhibits the synthesis of mycolic acids
metronidazole:commonly used as a treatment for anaerobic infections
ketoconazole:requires an acidic enviroment for dissolution and absorption
permethrin:this cream delays repolarization, causing the paralysis of these common "bed bugs"
echinacea:this over the counter supplement can sometimes shorten the duration of an upper respiratory infection
yeast infection:an adverse infection that often follows antibiotic therapy
alkylating agent:this drug often used in cancer therapy contains a reactive group that causes DNA strand breakage
aromatase:helps maintain circulating levels of estrogen after menopause
tamoxifen:an estrogen antagonist often used for breast cancer treatment
flutamide:androgen antagonist used in androgen dependent prostate cancer therapy
prednisone:inhibits the growth of lymphoid tumors
tacrolimus:commonly known by the brand Prograf, this drug is used as an immunosupressive agent after transplants
cytotoxic:these drugs damage DNA as well as alter microtubule function
nicotinic:this receptor serves as a ligand gated ion channel
scopolamine:this muscarinic antagonist is often used to treat motion sickness
cyclosporine:used for treatment of graft vs host disease
mitotic inhibitors:this drug type is derived from the periwinkle plant
enfuvirtide:this drug interferes with entry of HIV-1 into CD4+ cells
ribavirin:this common adverse effect associated with this drug is hemolytic anemia
antivirals:these drugs are not considered to be a cure, but to simply shorten duration
antimalarials:used to treat the infection caused by Plasmodium species
griseofulvin:an antifungal that inhibits fungal mitosis by blocking microtubule assembly
macrolides:clindamycin and this drug both bind to the ribosomal 50s subunit
tetracyclines:this drug class has different modes of penetration in gram negative and gram positive bacteria
diarrhea:common adverse effect when treated with amoxicillin
cephalosporins:usually the drug class of choice when treating gram negative infections
steady state:this concentration can be achieved by administration of continuous IV infusion or series of doses
phase 1:this phase of reactions includes oxidation, reduction, and hydrolysis reactions
elimination:process of excreting drugs or their metabolites from our bodies
sublingual:this type of administration should produce desired effects with small amounts of drug
absorption:process of delivering drug into the bloodstream
