www.pharmacyprep.com e) 87% Ans. C Tips: The best measure of absolute bioavailability is considered to be AUC of iv. Because AUC iv is not available for this drug, the next best comparison will be the cumulative drug amount found in the urine. Because iv dose was 10 mg, whereas the oral tablet dose was 20mg, a correction factor of 2 x is needed. Cumulative amount is 20 mg injected. 9.4 x 2 = 18.8 8.2/18.8 = 0.44 or 44% 30.

Concentration of AgE and Ag*E increase E) No change in AgE and Ag*E rate Ans. A Competitive (equilibrium) Competitive inhibitors are molecules that bind to the same site as the substrate preventing the substrate from binding as they do so but are not changed by the enzyme. Parallel rightward shift of agonist dose response curve shift. Q. Intensity of response depends on concentration of both agonist and antagonist. The same maximal response is attained by increasing the dose of agonist

Non competitive (irreversible) Non competitive inhibitors are molecules that bind to some other site on the enzyme reducing its catalytic power.

Flattening of dose response curve Q. Response depends on only on the concentration of antagonist Maximal response is suppressed

3. A patient is currently taking 220 mg anhydrous zinc sulfate. To receive the equivalent amount of elemental zinc, how many milligrams of zinc sulfate heptahydrate (.7H 2 O) would be patient need to take? (MW: zinc 65, ZnSO 4 161, H 2 O 18). a) 123 mg b) 220 mg c) 300 mg d) 392 mg e) 545 mg ZnSO4 = 161 ZnSO4 heptahydrate= (7x18 =126) 161+126 = 287 161..............220 mg 287................? (220 x 287)/161 = 392 OR Working: i. ii. iii.

220 mg ZnSO 4 provides 220/161 = 1.366 mmol Zn (and 1.33 mmol SO 4 , but this is not relevant) Each mmol of ZnSO 4 . 7H 2 O also provides 1 mmol Zinc Calculate the molecular weight of ZnSO 4 . 7H 2 O as follows:

ZnSO 4 = 161 7H2O = (7 X 18) = 126 ZnSO 4 7H2O = 161 + 126 = 287 iv.

Therefore, 1.366 mmol of ZnSO 4 . 7H2O (which provides 1.366 mmol Zinc) are provided by 1.366 x 287 = 392 mg

Ans: D 4) A physician has prescribed 60 g of 0.01% fluocinolone acetonide cream. You have available the commercially prepared cream containing 0.2% fluocinolone acetonine (Synalar cream) and cream base (Dermabase ) for dilution. To prepare the Rx you would require: a) 1.2 g Synalar and 58.8 g Dermabase b) 3 g Synalar and 60 g Dermabase c) 0.3 g Synalar and 59.7 g Dermabase d) 3 g Synalar and 57 g Dermabase C1. V1 = C2.

Dose Calculations

X = (60 g x 0.01)/ 0.2 = 3 g Synalar Order is for 60 g - 3 g = 57 g dermabase Working: i. ii. iii.

60 g of 0.01% fluocinolone acetonide (required in the Rx) contains 0.01/100 x 60 = 0.006 g fluocinolone acetonide) You have 0.2% fluocinolone acetonide (0.2 g per 100 g = 0.002 g fluocinolone per gramme of cream) Therefore, for the Rx you need 0.006 / 0.002 = 3 g Synalar cream

Ans: D B is wrong, because 3 g Synalar and 60 g of Dermabase will give 63 g of total cream, with a concentration of 0.0095% (0.006 / 63 x 100) 5. In the International System of Units (SI), most drugs levels are to be reported in the units of micromoles/litre (µmols/litre). The therapeutic concentration range for theophylline (MW 180) is 10-20 µg/mL. the SI equivalent would be: a) 0.055- 0.11 µmol/L b) 27-55 µmol/L c) 55-110 µmol/L d) 110-220 µmol/L e) 180-360 µmol/L Working: i. Careful!!! Theophylline therapeutic concentration is given in µmol/mL, while answers are given in µmol/L. ii. Convert therapeutic concentration to µg/L: 10-20 µmol/mL = 10,000 – 20,000 µg/L iii. Lower parameter: 10 µg/mol = 10,000 µg/L = 10,000/180 = 55 µmol/L iv. Upper parameter: 20 µg/mL = 20,000 µg/L = 20,000/180 = 111µmol/L Ans-C 6. Prednisolone each tablet containing 10mg.

ANTICOAGULANTS ANSWERS: 1- Ans: E 2. Ans: B Tips: “maximal” anticoagulation will be reached when all clotting factors are inhibited.
