NPTE Pharmacology
Basic Principles of Pharmacology
• Drug Nomenclature
– Chemical name
– Generic name
– Trade name
Basic Principles of Pharmacology
• Drug Development & Approval
– FDA
– Preclinical testing
– Human testing
– New drug application approval
Basic Principles of Pharmacology
• Controlled substances
– Schedule 1- (mescaline, marijuana, heroine)
• highest potential for abuse
• Restricted to approved research
– Schedule 2- (morphine, meperidine, barbiturates)
• Specific therapeutic purpose
• High potential for abuse
– Schedule 3 (opioids)
• Mild to moderate dependence
– Schedule 4 (benzodiazepines)
• Low potential for abuse
– Schedule 5 (low doses of opioids)
• Lowest relative abuse potential
Pharmacokinetics
• Routes of administration
ENTERAL
Parenteral
Oral
Inhalation
Sublingual
Intravenous
Rectal
Intra-arterial
Intramuscular
Intrathecal
Topical
Transdermal
• Drug elimination rates
– Clearance
• Blood flow to the organ
• Extraction ratio
– Half life
• Amount of time required for 50% of drug to be eliminated
Drug Receptors
• Agonist vs Antagonist
– Agonist
• Drug binds to receptor & initiates a change in function of cell
– Antagonist (Blockers)
• Drug binds to receptor but will not cause change the function of cell
CNS Pharmacology
• The Blood Brain Barrier
– Inability to pass from bloodstream to CNS
– Tight junctions between capillary endothelial cells
– Non-polar, lipid soluble drugs able to cross by passive diffusion
CNS Pharmacology
• Sedative-Hypnotic & anxioloytics

• -olam
Problems & adverse effects
Tolerance & physical dependence
Residual effects
GI (N & V), dry mouth
Incoordination
CNS Pharmacology
• Considerations for the PT

• Schedule sessions during that time
• In over sedated states
– Hazardous to do gait training & exercise
DRUGS USED FOR AFFECTIVE DISORDERS
• Pathophysiology of depression
– Underactive influence of NE, serotonin, dopamine in limbic
system
– Increased sensitivity of the post-synaptic receptor for NE
• Leads to compensatory decrease in sensitivity of the receptor
