Sample Case Study Of Pharmacokinetics

Pharmacokinetics: Oral administration; When the drug gets administered observation of the movement of the drug portrayed that 15 to 41mg/ml reached maximum concentration in 0.85 to 1.25hours with the additional fact that taking in a high fat meal decreased the absorption rate. The half-life of the drug is 0.76 to 1.35 h, with the metabolism of the drug pilocarpine occurs in the neuronal synapses and probably in the plasma and then gets eliminated in the urine with minimal degradation occurring. The drug pilocarpine has an onset of action occurring in 20 minutes and lasts up to 3 to 5 hours reaching its peak in one hour. If the patient has any problems associated with the renal function the rate of pharmacokinetics wouldn’t get effected on this drug, However, if the hepatic function is impaired the clearance of ths drug would decrease which results in an increase in the maximum concentration and the amount of time to reach the half-life. …show more content…

The action of the pilocaripne would be of about 0.5% to 4% depending on the strength of the pilocarpine used. The time it took to reach the maximum concentration, which was 3.7mg/ml, was of about 0.5 to 1 hour. Sustained release of pilocarine was observed due to the ocular system, of about 20 to 40 mcg/hour, only reaching the maximum effect of 1.5 to 2 hours after the application of the

The pharmacy list provided for review revealed that the last Butrans patch was approved on 09/11/15 and last Norco was approved on 05/02/15, however, the latest progress report contradicts this report. Current treatment regiment of the patient is unclear from the reports. Medical necessity of Norco 10/325 mg #60 has not been substantiated. Recommend non-certification. Non-certification here does not imply abrupt cessation for a patient who may be at risk for withdrawal symptoms.

The depot preparation could ensure continuous drug delivery with a stable plasma drug concentration over long periods. Taking into account the high propensity of noncompliance to the oral medications, long-acting depot would likely be beneficial to Madam M. Therefore, the doctor initiated intramuscular fluphenazine decanoate 25mg monthly for her. As for oral antipsychotics, the doctor aimed to taper off tablet aripiprazole in the future. This was because a monotherapy (IM depot) was likely sufficient for Madam

Short acting anticholinergics are not considered relief medications because they normally take longer to work than our beta-agonist medications. Though the lists of short acting anticholinergics are short these medications are great for people with COPD. They have fewer side effects than beta-agonist drugs and they are good bronchodilators. The long acting anticholinergic drug takes about 20 minutes to work and can last up to 24 hours, although it is thought of as a “reliever” it’s long lasting effects would make it an excellent maintenance drug for patients with COPD

I will be assigned to a new patient next week, and I will make sure that I will know everything about all the medications the patient takes. That will be done in order to know what I am going to be administering and how dangerous it will be if any of them are administered incorrectly. I will make sure all preventable complications will not occur. In order to do that, I need to know the function of the medication and what they are really for based on the patient’s diagnoses.

Method: The organ bath file was opened and we examined tissue type and Agonist and Antagonists of different drugs which were available. Guinea pig ileum was selected as tissue type and Acetyl choline as agonists. Then different amount of acetylcholine were added to the organ bath which produced different results and finally, a log – dose response curve for acetyl- choline was constructed with the X axis corresponding to drug dose (Drug concentration) and the Y axis corresponding to response (gms).

Given the fact that carbamazepine generally is a strong inducer of hepatic metabolism, it reduces the levels of other hepatically metabolized drugs. Therefore it reduces the levels of valproate but may increase valproate hepatotoxic metabolite levels (Pies 1998). Carbamazepine also reduce the metabolism of haloperidol, and other antipsychotics, it also reduces the levels of tricyclics, benzodiazepines, warfarin, prednisone, theophylline, and oral contraceptives (Pies 1998) the metabolism of carbamazepine is inhibited by cimetidine and valproates (Downie et al. 2003), verapamil, diltiazem, and erythromycin (Pies 1998). Many interactions may occur between carbamazepine and lithium or other antipsychotics leading to neurotoxicity (Pies

When interpreting concentration measurements, factors that need to be considered include the sampling time in relation to drug dose, dosage history, patient response, and the desired medicinal targets. The goal of therapeutic drug monitoring is to use suitable concentrations of difficult-to-manage medications to optimize clinical outcomes in patients in various clinical situations. Keywords: Drug monitoring, therapeutic; Pharmacokinetics Introduction Therapeutic drug monitoring is generally defined as the measurement of specific drugs at timed intervals in order to maintain a relatively constant concentration of the medication in the bloodstream. Monitored drugs tend to have a narrow therapeutic index, that is a ratio between the toxic and therapeutic doses of medications.
