2. dynamics: how drug works in the body (mechanism of action)
3. therapeutics: the use of drugs to diagnose, prevent or treat disease. Prevent pregnancy*
All drugs are intended to have some effect on the body. Name 3 possible effects. - ANS-1.
theraputic
2. toxic
3. fatal
What is the ultimate goal of pharmacotherapeutics? - ANS-For the benefits to outweigh the

Define drug effectiveness - ANS-Elicits response for which it is given
Define drug safety - ANS-Cannot produce harmful effects even at very high doses.
Is there such a thing as a completely safe drug? - ANS-No because all humans are subject to
drug toxicity levels or ADR's.
Define drug selectivity - ANS-ONLY elicits response for which it is given with NO SIDE
EFFECTS. There is not such thing as this though since all drugs have ADR's.
What do drug safety, selectivity, and predictability have in common? - ANS-None of them are
100% possible. Not every drug is safe all the time, every drug has the potential for ADR's, and
we cannot know with exact certainty how individual patients will respond to each drug.
Paradoxical Effect - ANS-Variation in individual drug response can cause opposite effects from
one patient to another. (teacher used benadryl as an example).
