MCQ 4 ANSWER

A drug has very low volume of distribution (Vd). Which of the following is the best explanation? A. The agent is eliminated by the kidneys, and the patient has renal insufficiency B. The agent is extensively bound to plasma proteins C. The agent is extensively sequestered in tissue D. The agent is eliminated by zero-order kinetics ANSWER: b The agent is extensively bound to plasma proteinsKDT  7e/p 17 Factors affecting volume of distribution (Vd): Plasma protein binding High Plasma protein binding decreases Vd Low Plasma protein binding increases Vd Tissue Perfusion decreased  tissue perfusion implies decreased Vd Water Soluble drugs have low Vd and Lipid soluble drugs have high Vd Acidic drugs have low Vd In edematous condition, water soluble drugs have high volume of distribution Tissue binding. High Vd with higher tissue binding Low molecular weight drugs have high Vd  For more MCQs and concepts  become pro member by clicking below https://drpharmacologist.testpress.in/products/pro-members/

MCQ 1 ANSWER

Choose the incorrect statement regarding drug absorption First pass metabolism reduces bioavailability highly ionized molecule are absorbed from stomach heparin not absorbed due to its large size most common method of drug absorption is by passive diffusion ANS: B highly ionized molecule are absorbed from stomach ref: KDT 7E/P 15 High yield concepts about absorption First pass metabolism is inversely proportional to bioavailability , so reduces bioavailability highly ionized molecule are not at all absorbed from stomach or intestine or from any place  heparin not absorbed due to its large size and it is highly ionized most common method of drug absorption is by passive diffusion For more MCQs and concepts  become pro member by clicking below https://drpharmacologist.testpress.in/products/pro-members/

Imipenem

imipenem : is a carbepenem activity against gram +ve, gram -ve and anerobes imipenem is degraded by renal tubular dipeptidase and duration of action is short cilastin inhibits renal tubular dipeptidase and increases imipenem duration of action cilastin has no antimicrobial property Imipenem + cilastin combination is synergistic seizures are seen with high doses seizures are seen more  with impenem compared to other carbepenems
