putting entire dose into a patient's vein and bypassing absorption.

excreted from the body. Determines how frequently the drug must be
administered. Predicts how long toxic effects can last.is constant with first-
order pharmacokinetics of a drug.

Zero-order (nonlinear) pharmacokinetics - ANSWER-means a drug is
metabolized at a constant rate per unit time.

CYP3A4 substrate drugs - ANSWER-may have enhanced activity if any
CYP3A4 inducer drugs are used along with it.

Drug development process involves these steps according to the FDA: -
ANSWER- Discovery: laboratory research to develop the new drug.
Preclinical research with animal testing for safety (Phase I). Clinical research
on human subjects for medication safety (Phase II). Clinical research in
humans comparing the new drug to accepted medications placebo
depending on the study (Phase III). FDA review of the results to determine
approval. Post marketing study to identify adverse effects not found in
earlier clinical studies (Phase IV)

(Atacand), eprosartan (Teveten), irbesartan (Avapro), losartan (Cozaar),
telmisartan (Micardis) and valsartan (Diovan).

ARBS reduce blood pressure - ANSWER-by blocking angiotensin II receptors.

Essential (primary) hypertension - ANSWER-Essential (primary) accounts for

coexisting heart failure; can cause thyroid and pulmonary toxicity.

, Alpha-1 adrenergic stimulation - ANSWER-results in vasoconstriction and
increased blood pressure.

Alpha-1 adrenergic blockade - ANSWER-results in vasodilation and reduced
blood pressure.

Beta-1 adrenergic stimulation - ANSWER-by beta agonists (e.g.,
isoproterenol) results in increased heart rate, increased blood pressure, and
increased cardiac output.

Beta-1 adrenergic blockade results - ANSWER-in reduced heart rate, reduced
blood pressure, and reduced cardiac output.

Left heart failure - ANSWER-causes reduced delivery of oxygenated blood to
the body tissues.

Right heart failure - ANSWER-is associated with pulmonary disease and
