Drug Therapy01:28

Drug Therapy

199
The advent of drug therapy has profoundly shaped modern mental health care, providing targeted treatments for a range of psychological disorders. Psychotherapeutic drugs, classified into antianxiety, antidepressant, and antipsychotic medications, address symptoms across anxiety disorders, mood disorders, and schizophrenia. While these medications have transformed patient outcomes, they require careful management due to their potential side effects and limitations.

Drug Administration and Therapy Phases: Overview

1.1K
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.

Therapeutic Drug Monitoring: Overview and Classification

210
Therapeutic Drug Monitoring (TDM) is a clinical practice that measures specific drug levels in a patient's blood at designated intervals to ensure the drug concentration stays within a therapeutic range. This monitoring is crucial for optimizing individual dosage regimens, enhancing therapeutic efficacy, and minimizing drug-related toxicity. TDM is vital for drugs with narrow therapeutic windows, significant variability in pharmacokinetics, and a clear correlation between plasma levels and...

Chronopharmacokinetics: Circadian Rhythms and Influence on Drug Response

292
Circadian rhythms are cyclic changes that are crucial in plasma drug concentrations. Various standard circadian parameters, including core body temperature, heart rate, and other cardiovascular factors, directly impact disease states and the therapeutic response to drug therapy.
The time of drug administration is an important factor to consider, as it can influence the toxic dose of a drug. For example, a study conducted by Prins et al. in 1997 examined the effects of the timing of...

Dosage Interval and Administration Route: Determination Methods

151
A medication’s effectiveness largely depends on its appropriate dosage and the route of administration. Dosage ensures that a sufficient drug concentration is maintained in the bloodstream to elicit the desired therapeutic effect without causing toxicity. The route of administration affects the drug's bioavailability, rate of absorption, and onset of action, which are crucial for achieving optimal therapeutic outcomes. Drug dosage calculations are critical to tailoring therapy to...

Therapeutic Drug Monitoring: Affecting Factors01:29

Therapeutic Drug Monitoring: Affecting Factors

135
Therapeutic Drug Monitoring (TDM) is the clinical practice of measuring specific drug levels in a patient's blood or body tissues to manage and optimize therapy. TDM is crucial for drugs with narrow therapeutic windows, like warfarin and phenytoin, where incorrect doses can lead to treatment failure or severe side effects. This monitoring ensures the dosage administered is within a safe and effective range. The factors affecting therapeutic drug monitoring include:Patient-Specific Factors:a.

Area of Science:

  • Pharmacy Practice
  • Health Services Research
  • Medication Management

Background:

  • Medication synchronization programs aim to improve patient adherence and outcomes.
  • The appointment-based model (ABM) is one strategy for medication synchronization.
  • Understanding the role of pharmacy technicians is crucial for successful ABM implementation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To qualitatively explore the experiences and perspectives of pharmacy technicians regarding the implementation of an ABM medication synchronization program.
  • To identify facilitators and barriers to ABM implementation from the pharmacy technician viewpoint.

Main Methods:

  • Purposeful sampling of six certified pharmacy technicians from six supermarket chain pharmacies in Mississippi and Tennessee.
  • Semi-structured interviews conducted between January and April 2018, guided by the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR).
  • Thematic content analysis of transcribed interviews by two independent researchers.

Main Results:

  • Technicians require hands-on training with ABM software for effective implementation.
  • Time constraints for completing ABM tasks alongside other duties were identified as a significant barrier.
  • Despite challenges, technicians perceived overall positive patient benefits from the ABM program.

Conclusions:

  • Successful ABM implementation requires adequate technician training, including practical software experience.
  • Addressing implementation barriers, such as time allocation and workflow integration, is essential.
  • Enhanced ABM portal integration and appropriate workforce budgeting are critical for sustained program success and positive patient impact.
