Categories of Drug Administration

Enteral route: PO, Rectal, NG Parenteral route: subQ, IM, IV Percutaneous route: inhalation, sublingual,
topical
HalfHalf-life of Drugs
Factors modifying the

quantity of drug reaching a site of action after a single oral dose
Slide 18
Terms used in relationship to medications

Desired action Side effects/ Adverse effects Allergic reactions: i.e. hives, urticaria Idiosyncratic reactions Carcinogenicity Teratogen
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)
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
Slide 21
Factors Influencing Drug Action

Age Body weight Metabolic rate Illness Psycological aspects Tolerance Drug dependence Cumulative effect
Chapter 3
Drug Action Across the Life Span
Slide 23

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
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

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
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
Slide 27

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
Slide 28

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
Slide 29

Gastrointestinal absorption influenced by:
Gastric pH Gastric emptying time Enzymatic activity Blood flow of mucous lining and intestines
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
Slide 38
Percentages of Body Water
Slide 39
13
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
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
Slide 41
Monitoring Parameters: Pediatric Patients

Infants and young children more susceptible
to dehydration
Weight variation affects dosage g g Aspirin never to be administered to children Allergic reactions occur rapidly in children,
most commonly to antibiotics
Slide 42
14
Monitoring Parameters: Older Adult Patients
Factors that place older patient at risk:

Reduced renal and hepatic function Chronic illness Polypharmacymultiple-drug therapy required by chronic illness A greater likelihood of malnourishment due to polypharmacy
Slide 43
Monitoring Parameters: Older Adult Patients
Drug therapy
Take thorough drug history and nutritional assessment Determine whether new symptoms have y p been induced by existing medicines Gradually taper dosage when discontinuing drug Start at one third to one half normal dosage when initiating therapy; gradually increase Review regimen periodically
Slide 44
Potentially Inappropriate Medications for Older Adult Patients
Slide 45
15
Use of Monitoring Parameters: Pregnant Women

Avoid drugs if at all possible When taking womans history, be alert to
possibility of pregnancy
I Instruct patient to avoid d i id drugs, alcohol, l h l

tobacco
Try nonpharmacologic treatments before

using medicines
Avoid herbal medicines

Slide 46
Drugs Known to Be Teratogenic
Slide 47
Use of Monitoring Parameters: BreastBreast-Feeding Patients

Some drugs are known to enter breast milk
and harm nursing infant
Discuss all medications with physician Take medicine immediately after breastfeeding or just before infants longest sleeping period
