1 Pharmacology Medications and their potential implications in physical therapy Definitions Drug: Any substance that alters physiologic function in the organism, regardless of whether the effect is beneficial or harmful Pharmacology Definitions Pharmacodynamics: the study of the effect that a drug has on the body Pharmacokinetics: how the drug is absorbed in the body, distributed within the body, and eliminated from the body 1
2 Terminology Dose: how much of a drug the patient is supposed to take at one time Dosage: Total amount of a drug administered over the condition; how much medication is deemed to be efficient in ridding the condition Administration of Meds Orally (most frequent) Advantage: easy, painless Disadvantage: takes a while to be distributed (via digestive system); loses efficiency as it goes through the metabolic system Administration of Meds Sublingual (under the tongue) Advantage: quick response; don t lose potency Rectal Advantage: if patient is vomitting Disadvantage: uncomfortable, embarrassing 2
3 Administration of Meds Inhalation Advantage: goes directly to the lungs; maximum benefit within 7 seconds Topical Absorbs through the skin, slow response Transdermal Put drug on skin and drive it through using conduction (ultrasound) Administration of Meds Injections Intravenous: injected directly into a vein, circulates rapidly Intra-arterial: injected directly into an artery, more risk than intravenous Subcutaneous: injected under the skin Intramuscular: injected into muscle, takes time to circulate Drug Storage Sites Adipose Tissue: biggest site for drug storage Bones: Storage site for heavy metals and other toxins (ie. Lead) Muscles Organs: Liver & Kidney 3
