Pharmaceutical Poisoning: Potential Scenarios01:26

Pharmaceutical Poisoning: Potential Scenarios

Pharmaceutical poisoning can occur through various channels, impacting an estimated 2 million hospitalized patients in the U.S. annually with serious adverse drug responses. These scenarios encompass both therapeutic uses, such as drug toxicity, where even standard dosages can lead to severe central nervous system depression, and non-therapeutic exposures, including accidental ingestion by children, and environmental and occupational exposures.Unintentional poisonings often involve exploratory...

Biopharmaceutics and Pharmacokinetics: Overview

Understanding drugs, drug products, and their performance in pharmaceutical science is pivotal. Drugs, whether simple molecules or complex compounds, are designed to interact with the body's biological systems to diagnose, treat, or prevent diseases. Drug products include various delivery systems such as tablets, capsules, injections, and inhalers. The performance of these drug products is gauged by their ability to deliver the active ingredient to the desired site of action at the appropriate...
Pharmacovigilance01:19

Pharmacovigilance

Post-marketing surveillance is a critical component of pharmaceutical regulation, often uncovering unanticipated adverse drug reactions (ADRs) once a drug is widely used over an extended period.
This process, termed pharmacovigilance, aims to detect, evaluate, and minimize harmful effects related to medication use. The data collection for pharmacovigilance depends on spontaneous reporting systems, where healthcare professionals or patients voluntarily report suspected ADRs.
In some cases, there...
Drug Administration and Therapy Phases: Overview01:26

Drug Administration and Therapy Phases: Overview

Drugs, the chemical agents used in diagnosing, treating, or preventing diseases, undergo a four-phase process of development: pharmaceutic, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and therapeutic.
The pharmaceutical phase focuses on leveraging the physicochemical properties of the drug to design and manufacture an effective product. Variants include orally administered tablets or capsules, topical creams or ointments, and parenteral-delivery solutions or emulsions.
The pharmacokinetic phase...
Biopharmaceutical Factors Influencing Drug Product Design: Overview01:22

Biopharmaceutical Factors Influencing Drug Product Design: Overview

Rational drug product design integrates knowledge of the drug’s physicochemical properties, formulation components, manufacturing techniques, and intended route of administration. Each factor influences the drug’s performance, including how it is released, absorbed, and eliminated in the body.The physicochemical properties of a drug—such as solubility, stability, and particle size—affect its compatibility with excipients and the choice of dosage form. Excipients, though pharmacologically...
Pharmacokinetics: Drug–Drug Interactions01:25

Pharmacokinetics: Drug–Drug Interactions

Drug interactions occur when the pharmacological effect of one drug is altered by another substance, either enhancing or diminishing its activity. The drug whose activity is altered is known as the object drug, and the substance causing the alteration is called the agent drug or the precipitant. The net effects of these interactions are mostly undesirable, leading to decreased effectiveness or increased adverse effects. In rare cases, interactions can be beneficial, such as the enhanced...

Area of Science:

  • Pharmacy Education
  • Information Science
  • Higher-Order Thinking Skills

Background:

  • Professional guidelines emphasize higher-order thinking skills in pharmacy education.
  • Pharmaceutics courses require students to use chemical reference sources and interpret physicochemical data.
  • Learner-centered pedagogy necessitates effective information literacy skills.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the impact of librarian-led instruction on pharmaceutics students' information literacy and higher-order thinking.
  • To evaluate the effectiveness of a collaborative approach between librarians and faculty in pharmacy education.

Main Methods:

  • A librarian collaborated with faculty to design and deliver a class on reference sources and primary literature.
  • Instruction focused on using chemical reference materials and interpreting drug molecule data.
  • Student perceptions and faculty-reported question types were assessed before and after the intervention.

Main Results:

  • Students reported that librarian instruction was beneficial for their learning.
  • Faculty received fewer basic information-related questions after the intervention.
  • The librarian observed an increase in the sophistication of questions received from students.

Conclusions:

  • Librarian-faculty collaboration effectively enhances pharmacy students' information literacy and critical thinking skills.
  • Targeted instruction in reference sources and literature is crucial for developing higher-order thinking in pharmaceutics.
  • This model demonstrates a successful strategy for integrating library expertise into pharmacy curricula.
