General Pharmacology

3 topics in General Pharmacology for PGET Paper I Pharmacology. Each one explains the concept simply, then gives exam-focus points and a quick revision list.

PharmacokineticsWhat the body does to a drug: routes and absorption, bioavailability and first-pass effect, distribution and volume of distribution, metabolism (phase I and II, cytochrome P450), excretion, clearance, half-life, first- and zero-order kinetics, steady state, and loading and maintenance doses, with worked calculations.Pharmacodynamics and receptorsWhat a drug does to the body: the four receptor families and their speed, agonists, partial agonists, inverse agonists and antagonists, dose-response curves, potency versus efficacy, therapeutic index, and tolerance, tachyphylaxis and receptor up- and down-regulation.Adverse drug reactions and drug interactionsHow drugs cause harm: the types of adverse drug reactions (augmented, bizarre, chronic, delayed, end-of-use, failure), drug allergy, idiosyncrasy and pharmacogenetics, teratogenic drugs, drugs in the elderly and in kidney or liver disease, and the main pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic drug interactions.
