Absorption
the movement of a drug from its site of administration into the bloodstream for

the liver
Excretion

drug-drug interaction

administered simultaneously
"free drug"
active- unbound portion of a drug bound to albumin
"bound drug"
portion of the drug bound to the albumin- inactive
Albumin
most abundant blood protein and carries the majority of the protein-bound drug
molecules
Bioavailability
refers to the extent of drug absorption
Transdermal route
method of drug delivery through adhesive drug patches
Subcutaneous route
injections into the fatty subcutaneous tissues under the dermal layer of the skin
Intramuscular (IM)
injections given into the muscle beneath the subcutaneous fatty tissue
Intravenous (IV)
delivers the drug directly into circulation where it is distributed by the bloodstream
throughout the body
Sublingual & Buccal route
Under tongue, in cheek
Therapeutic effect
A positive/intended change in a faulty physiological system
Pharmacodynamics
the relationship between the drug concentrations and the pharmacological response
(actions of the drug)
