PHARMACOTHERAPEUTICS
 Pharmacotherapeutics word derived from the two words, Pharmakon means
‘the drugs’ and therapeutic means ‘diagnosis or treatment of any disease. It
is the branch of the pharmacology which deals with the drug absorption,
drug distribution, drug elimination and their action/effects.
 In the other word, we can say that it is provided the information regarding
the drugs and their action for preventing/eliminating the disease. On the
basis of receptor capability and bioavailability drugs are act on the body and
cure the disease.
 Pharmacotherapy is included as the drug therapy to treating the disease
after the surgical, radiation, or physical therapy.
 In the modern day, different types of chemical constituted medicine or
available which show the effect (may be positive or negative), to correct
these problem (according to the demand or patient need)
pharmacotherapeutics play a major role in the Indian system of medicine.

Branches of the Pharmacotherapeutics—


1. Pharmacokinetics—
a. Drug absorption— Initially, when we consume the medicine then it
is dissolve or break down into the smaller or absorbable particle
absorbed by the different-different route according to their solubility
and protein/receptor binding capacity.
 In our G.I.T absorption are starting from the upper parts(mouth) to middle
part(stomach, intestine) and finally lower part(rectal and anal) of G.I.T.

b. Drug distribution— After the completion of absorption, drugs are


distributed to effective area through the blood or other connective
tissue and finally bind to the specific receptors and shows their action.
Distribution is also based on the solubility and protein/receptor
binding capacity.

c. Drug elimination— on the basis of bioavailability of any drug,


drug is excreted/eliminated from the body. When the bioavailability is
more than drugs are binds to the receptors and show effects and
waste/metabolism products are eliminate but when bioavailability are
less then more amount of drug are eliminated as such through urine or
fecal matter.
2. Pharmacodynamics—
a. Systemic effects- In this branch we are study about the drug action on
body organs and their responses. Different chemical show the
different mechanism of action on the different body parts.
b. Cellular effects- when the drugs are absorbed then it reach to the cell
and binds to the specific cell receptors and carry on the metabolism.

Scope and objective of Pharmacotherapeutics

 We gain the correct knowledge regarding the drug chemical reactions in


the body
 We decide the correct drugs categories for treating the specific disease.
 We decide the correct dose and formulation for treating the specific
disease.
 We decide the right patient for the particular drug.
 We decide the suitable/effective route of administration
 We decide the correct time of administration for particular drug (many
gastric related drugs take by empty stomach and many of drugs take after
taking the meals)
 Decide the drug tolerance and resistance capacity.
 We decide the drug incompatibility or adverse effect (aspirin is not taken
in dengue condition).
 we decide about the drug food interactions ( calcium rich food and
antibiotics should not take together).
 We decide the natural/environmental condition for taking the particular
drug.

Rational uses of medicines (RUM)


Introduction-RMU is an important, vital and caretaker aspects/subjects include
in the pharmacodynamics because of- Body mechanism of persons varies
individually (obese, thin, male female, age of person etc.) due to involvement of
RUM we decide that- correct medicine for correct individual at correct time
for correct diseases.

Day to day, human activities are increases like tree cutting, pollution, more use
pesticides, natural conditions are changes leads to born new physiological
condition of the body so, it is an also responsible for the RUM.

According to WHO- The rational use of drugs requires the patient receive
medication appropriate to their clinical needs, in doses the meet their own
individual requirements for an adequate period of time and at lowest cost to them
and their community.

Factors responsible for the RUM—


A. Arises during manufacturing procedures— It is the initial
step/factor responsible for the RUM because, during the manufacturing
drug quantity and measure is the important aspects regarding the drug
formulation, it is avoided by the involvement of-
1. Correct platform.
2. Correct equipment.
3. Correct procedure.
B. Arise due to individual— Body physiology of individual varies person
to person so chemical requirement also varies person to person for treating
any disease. It depends on the different factors-
1. Body structure.
2. Sex of person.
3. Age of person.
4. Prior disease history.
5. Drug contraindication and allergy.
6. Drug tolerance or resistance.

C. Environmental effects— Environmental condition also varies places to


places so, it also act as the factors
1. Seasonal variation.
2. Any pandemic.
3. Any mutations.

How to improve the RUM—


1. Educational promotion—Pharmacy field is the most essential field
regarding for the health, because in this, we will study about the human
physiology and chemical physiology (action) both and compare. So after
gaining the knowledge we are designed the different-different formulation
with proper quantity and quality regarding the patient requirement. So we
can conclude that, if pharmacy field develop more and more with proper
education purpose then many of pharmacists grown up and participate in the
health promotion. Education promote by-
1. Providing skill educational behaviors.
2. Providing laboratory and practical knowledge.
3. Providing the library.
4. Providing the health and yoga camp etc.
2. Regulatory and management promotion— Management is also an
important factor for the regulation and promoting for the RUM.
By proper inspection and supervision we are decide the correct requirements
(skill person, raw material, perfect platform, perfect equipment etc.) for the
manufacturing. If manufacturing are correct and appropriate manner then we
finally achieve your goals (correct dose in correct formulation).
QA (quality assurance), QC (quality control) and GMP (good manufacturing
practice) are supervision department, which inspect the manufacturing and
insure that it is proper or not.
3. By proper compounding and dispensing— Packaging and
compounding is the final or attentive stage because, if any mistake are arises
during the drugs compounding then may leads to positive or negative effect
and sometime cause the serious problem.

Dispensing is also including to promoting factor because of, many drugs are
required special conditions during the dispensing.
4. Establishment of a multidisciplinary national body to co-ordinate policies
on medicine uses, development and use of national essential medicine lists,
sufficient government expenditure to ensure availability of medicines and
staff.

Irrational use of the drugs


Irrational use of drugs means, use of medicines in improper manner and improper
formulation it involves as-

 By selection of wrong medicine.


 By selection of wrong doses.
 By selection of wrong person.
 By selection of wrong time.

It is cause due to-

1. Improper diagnosis 2. Prescription problems.

 Improper examination of patients  Incorrect prescriptions.


 Communication problem between  Multiple prescriptions.
RMP and patient  Prescription through multimedia
 Improper document history. (By calling)

3. Dispensing and compounding 4. Common factors


 Due to unsuitable platform/place  Lack of knowledge.
 Counting and compounding.  OTC medication.
 Unsanitary procedure.  Financial and unbelieves
