explain how atropine mediates its pharmacological effects in the eye and the gi tract.
a 55 y o kidney transplant patient was trated with cyclosporin A to prevent organ rejection. when he developed an upper respiratory tract infection, erthyromacin was prescribed.
is there a need to change the dosage of either drug? if so which drug>
explain why and describe the likely mechanism.
a few months after the infection had cleared, the paitent who is still on cyclosporin A became depressed and took st john's wort daily on the recommendation of a freind. what potential interactions can be expected?
drug A is an anti depressant acting through serotonergic receptors. it has an oral bioA of 85% . it is extensively 90% metabolized by the liver, mainly through cyp2d6. approximately 10 % of the drug undergoes renal elimination. it has a protein binding of 75%. it has been noticed however that the clinical efficacy of drug A varies considerably in the population.
give possible non genetic reasons for the variability in clinical efficacy of drug A
what are the possible geentic polymorphisms which may affect a patient's response to drug A?
what might be the efficacy parameters you could use for studying drug A?
nothing could aptly describe. no one can rightly challenge. no soul could seemly defy. welcome to my world. where i make the rules and you stick by them.
