Terms used in relationship to medications

Copyright 2007, 2004 by Mosby, Inc., an affiliate of Elsevier Inc.

Slide 19

Principles of Drug Action and Drug Interactions


Desired effect: when a drug enters a patient,
is absorbed and distributed, and produces the expected response

Adverse effect: Any noxious, unintended and


undesired effect of a drug, which occurs at d i d ff t f d hi h t doses used in humans for prophylaxis, diagnosis or therapy (World Health Organization)

Copyright 2007, 2004 by Mosby, Inc., an affiliate of Elsevier Inc.

Slide 20

Principles of Drug Action and Drug Interactions (contd)


Drug interaction
Drug interactions represent 3% to 6% of preventable in-hospital adverse drug reaction cases Drug interactions are a major component of the number of hospital emergency department visits and admissions

Drug Action Across the Life Span

Copyright 2007, 2004 by Mosby, Inc., an affiliate of Elsevier Inc.

Slide 23

Drug Action Across the Life Span


Age and gender affect drug therapy Gender-specific medicine
A developing science th t studies th d l i i that t di the differences in the normal function of men and women and how people of each sex perceive and experience disease

Copyright 2007, 2004 by Mosby, Inc., an affiliate of Elsevier Inc.

Slide 24

Across The Life Span



Age <38 weeks 0-1 month 1-24 months 1-5 years 6-12 years 13-18 years 19-54 years 55-64 years 65-74 years 75-84 years 85+ years

Title of Stage Premature Newborn, neonate Infant, baby Young child Older child Adolescent Adult Older adult Elderly The aged The very old

Drug Action Across the Life Span


In nearly every body system, men and women function differently Men and women perceive and experience disease differently Fundamental questions remain about how humans function and the effect of disease on function Pharmacogenetics Polymorphisms
Copyright 2007, 2004 by Mosby, Inc., an affiliate of Elsevier Inc.

Slide 26

Drug Absorption: Age Considerations


Special considerations for pediatric and older
adult patients
Differences in muscle mass, blood flow, and inactivity affect medicines given intramuscularly Topical and transdermal administration differs in the very young and the very old

Copyright 2007, 2004 by Mosby, Inc., an affiliate of Elsevier Inc.

Slide 27

Drug Absorption: Age Considerations


Topical administration in infants is effective
because:
Outer layer of skin (stratum corneum) not fully developed de eloped Skin more fully hydrated; plastic diaper increases skin hydration Inflammation (diaper rash) increases absorption
Copyright 2007, 2004 by Mosby, Inc., an affiliate of Elsevier Inc.

Slide 28

Drug Absorption: Age Considerations


Difficult to predict in geriatric patients
Dermal thickness decreases with age and may enhance absorption Drying, wrinkling, and decreased hair follicles decrease absorption Decreased cardiac output and diminishing tissue perfusion also affect absorption

Copyright 2007, 2004 by Mosby, Inc., an affiliate of Elsevier Inc.

Slide 29

Drug Absorption: Age Considerations


Gastrointestinal absorption influenced by:
Gastric pH Gastric emptying time Enzymatic activity Blood flow of mucous lining and intestines

Copyright 2007, 2004 by Mosby, Inc., an affiliate of Elsevier Inc.

Slide 30

10

Drug Absorption: Gender Considerations


Increased potential for toxicity and slower
absorption times in women
Empty solids more slowly Have greater gastric acidity Have lower gastric levels of alcohol dehydrogenase needed to metabolize alcohols

Copyright 2007, 2004 by Mosby, Inc., an affiliate of Elsevier Inc.

Slide 31

Drug Distribution
Depends on pH, body water concentrations,
presence and quantity of fat tissue, protein binding, cardiac output, and regional blood flow

I f t have larger volume of water content Infants h l l f t t t


and require higher dose

With age, total body water decreases and fat


increases

Copyright 2007, 2004 by Mosby, Inc., an affiliate of Elsevier Inc.

Slide 32

Drug Distribution
Highly fat-soluble drugs take longer to act
and accumulate in fat tissues, increasing potential for toxicity

P Protein bi di i binding
Drugs that are relatively insoluble are transported in circulation by binding to plasma proteins

Copyright 2007, 2004 by Mosby, Inc., an affiliate of Elsevier Inc.

Slide 33

11

Drug Distribution
Age considerations Some drugs have lower protein binding in
neonates and require larger loading dose

Albumin levels decrease with age


Gender considerations Some differences between men and
women in globulin proteins

Slide 34

Drug Metabolism
Drug metabolism
Process by which the body inactivates medicine Affected by genes, diet, age & maturity of enzyme systems Liver weight and hepatic blood flow decrease with age

Copyright 2007, 2004 by Mosby, Inc., an affiliate of Elsevier Inc.

Slide 35

Routes of Medication Excretion


Primary Routes

Renal tubules: into the urine GI tract: through feces


Minor Routes

Evaporation: through skin Exhalation: from the lungs Secretion: in saliva & breast milk

Copyright 2007, 2004 by Mosby, Inc., an affiliate of Elsevier Inc .

Slide 36

12

Drug Excretion
Metabolites of drugs (and sometimes the
drug itself) eventually excreted

Preterm infant has 15% of adult renal


capacity; fully functional by 9 to 12 months

Copyright 2007, 2004 by Mosby, Inc., an affiliate of Elsevier Inc.

Slide 37

Drug Excretion (contd)


Decreased renal function with age No prediction of renal function can be based
y g solely on age because of wide individual variation in changes

Therapeutic Drug Monitoring


Entails measurement of a drugs
concentration in biologic fluids to correlate the dosage administered and the level of medicine in the body with the pharmacologic response

Timing of drugs administration and collection


of specimen are crucial to accurate interpretation

Copyright 2007, 2004 by Mosby, Inc., an affiliate of Elsevier Inc.

Slide 40

Use of Monitoring Parameters


Before administering medicine, assess
expected therapeutic actions, side effects, reportable adverse effects, probable drug interactions

Monitoring parameters related to patients


age

Copyright 2007, 2004 by Mosby, Inc., an affiliate of Elsevier Inc.

Slide 41

Monitoring Parameters: Pediatric Patients
