Drug Concentrations: Measurements

381
Drug concentration is the quantity of a drug present in a biological sample. Measuring drug amounts in biological samples allows the clinician to understand how a drug is absorbed, distributed, metabolized, and excreted. Samples can be obtained through invasive or non-invasive methods. Invasive techniques involve surgical or parenteral interventions to gather blood, cerebrospinal fluid, or tissue biopsy. Conversely, non-invasive approaches provide samples like urine, feces, and saliva.

Pharmacovigilance01:19

Pharmacovigilance

860
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 Abuse and Addiction: Pharmacological Phenomena

489
Drug dependence, abuse, and addiction are complex phenomena that can precipitate various abnormal states. Physical dependence refers to a state of pharmacological adaptation to a drug. This adaptation often results in tolerance—a reduced response to the drug after repeated administrations. When the drug use is abruptly stopped, withdrawal symptoms occur due to the body's need to readjust from the pharmacologically induced imbalance. However, tolerance and withdrawal symptoms do not...

Pharmacodynamics: Overview and Principles

1.2K
Pharmacodynamics is a scientific field that delves into drugs' intricate biochemical, cellular, and physiological effects on the human body. The study of pharmacodynamics helps us understand how drugs interact with the body and elicit various responses.
Most drugs' effects result from their interactions with drug receptors or targets within the body. These interactions trigger specific responses at the cellular or systemic level. Drug receptors can be found on the surfaces of cells or...

Biopharmaceutics and Pharmacokinetics: Overview

2.1K
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...

Nonlinear Pharmacokinetics: Role of Transporters01:27

Nonlinear Pharmacokinetics: Role of Transporters

55
A drug's nonlinear kinetics can be influenced by a diverse range of transporter proteins that serve as crucial players in drug distribution. These transporters, found within cells, can enhance or reduce local drug concentrations by facilitating the influx or efflux of drugs. For instance, the expression of xenobiotic transporters can be influenced by factors such as age and gender, potentially impacting the linearity of drug response.
Polymorphisms occurring in drug transporters can alter...

Area of Science:

  • Sports Science
  • Pharmacology
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Taiwan's widespread use of Chinese Herbal Medicine (CHM) poses a risk of inadvertent doping for athletes.
  • Pharmacy professionals play a crucial role in advising athletes on safe medication use.
  • Understanding pharmacists' anti-doping knowledge is vital for athlete protection.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the anti-doping knowledge and educational needs of pharmacists in Taiwan.
  • To identify factors influencing pharmacists' anti-doping knowledge.
  • To inform the development of targeted anti-doping education programs.

Main Methods:

  • A cross-sectional online questionnaire survey was distributed to registered pharmacists in Taiwan.
  • The survey covered demographics, knowledge of prohibited substances, and doping control understanding.
  • Data from 491 respondents were analyzed.

Main Results:

  • Pharmacists reported moderate anti-doping knowledge (average score 37.2/51).
  • Younger pharmacists exhibited significantly higher knowledge scores.
  • Awareness of prohibited substances like furosemide and CHM-based higenamine was low (38% and 7%, respectively).

Conclusions:

  • Anti-doping knowledge among Taiwanese pharmacists is varied, necessitating tailored educational interventions.
  • Future anti-doping education should focus on specific substances, including those found in CHM.
  • Research-based educational activities are recommended to enhance pharmacist preparedness in anti-doping advisory roles.
