PHARMACODYNAMICS

This video looks on the applications of pharmacodynamics to clinical practice and how frequency response curves may be used to explains how patients respond differently to medications. It explains the importance of the median effective dose (ED50) to clinical practice, median lethal dose (LD50) and median toxicity dose (TD50). It explains how a drug's therapeutic index is related to its margin of safety and the significance of the graded dose-response relationship to clinical practice. Important terms such as potency and efficacy and discusses while distinguishing between an agonist, partial agonist, and antagonist. Students learn the relationship between receptors and drug action and possible future developments in the field of pharmacogenetics.

PHARMACOKINETICS

This video looks at the applications of pharmacokinetics to clinical practice by identifying its components. It explains how substances travel across plasma membranes, factors affecting drug absorption and transportation across membranes, metabolism of drugs and its applications to pharmacotherapy. The video looks at how drugs are distributed throughout the body and how plasma proteins affect drug distribution; meanwhile looking at the major processes by which drugs are excreted. The lecture outlines how enterohepatic recirculation might affect drug activity and the applications of a drug's plasma half-life (t1/2) to pharmacotherapy as it explores on how a drug reaches and maintains its therapeutic range in the plasma focusing on the differences between loading and maintenance doses.
