Drug Discovery: Overview

Drug Discovery: Overview

Drug discovery is a multifaceted process involving extensive screening, testing, and optimization of lead compounds to identify potential new drugs for therapeutic use. It combines several approaches, including screening large numbers of natural products, chemical modification of known active molecules, identification of new drug targets, and rational design based on biological mechanisms and drug-receptor structure. These approaches are carried out in both academic research laboratories and...

Pharmacovigilance

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...

Factors Affecting Drug Response: Overview

Factors Affecting Drug Response: Overview

When it comes to infants and young children, they are typically administered smaller doses of medication in comparison to adults. This is primarily because their organ functions still need to fully develop, meaning their bodies are not as efficient at metabolizing or eliminating drugs. Additionally, their blood-brain barrier is more permeable than in adults. As a result, high concentrations of drugs can easily penetrate the central nervous system (CNS), potentially leading to neurological...

Drug-Receptor Interactions

Drug-Receptor Interactions

Drug-receptor interaction describes the binding of receptors by drugs, but not all drug-receptor interactions result in activation and tissue response. For instance, the binding of agonists activates the receptor to generate a cellular reaction, while antagonists bind to receptors without causing their activation.
Several parameters, such as the drug's affinity for its receptor and its efficacy, which is its ability to activate the receptor, determine the drug's effect on the tissue....

Drug Dosage Regimen: Overview

Drug Dosage Regimen: Overview

A drug dosage regimen describes the specific instructions and schedule for administering a drug to a patient. It considers factors such as drug dosage, frequency, route of administration, and duration of treatment. Designing an appropriate dosage regimen for a patient aims to achieve a target drug concentration at the site of action.
Typically, the starting dose and dosing interval are guided by the manufacturer's recommendations based on clinical trials conducted during and after drug...

Drug Dosing: Geriatric Patients

Drug Dosing: Geriatric Patients

Elderly individuals encompass a diverse population with varying degrees of age-related physiological changes. Defining the elderly presents challenges, as the geriatric population is often arbitrarily categorized as individuals older than 65. However, many individuals in this group lead active and healthy lives, with an increasing number surpassing 85 years and falling into the older elderly category. Physiological changes associated with aging impact performance capacity and homeostatic...

Area of Science:

Pharmacy Education
Drug Information Science

Background:

Introductory pharmacy practice courses require students to develop drug information response skills.
Effective mentorship strategies are crucial for enhancing student pharmacists' competency.

Purpose of the Study:

To implement and evaluate a student peer-mentoring program focused on a drug information response assignment.
To assess the impact of peer mentorship on student pharmacists' confidence and skills in preparing drug information responses.

Main Methods:

Second-year student pharmacists (mentors) were paired with first-year student pharmacists (mentees).
Mentors provided feedback on draft drug information assignments, allowing mentees to revise their work.
The program was integrated into an introductory pharmacy practice course.

Main Results:

A significant majority of both mentors (100%) and mentees (76%) reported improved ability to prepare drug information responses.
Most student pharmacists expressed willingness to participate in the program again.
The program positively impacted students' perceptions of their competence in drug information response preparation.

Conclusions:

The implemented student peer-mentoring program was successful in enhancing pharmacy students' confidence in composing drug information responses.
Peer mentorship serves as an effective pedagogical tool in pharmacy education for skill development.
