Activated charcoal is commonly used as an antidote to counteract drug and chemical poisonings. It works by binding to poisons in the gastrointestinal tract and preventing absorption. Common side effects include black stools and diarrhea. Antidotes work through various mechanisms like complex formation, metabolic conversion, or changing the physicochemical properties of toxins. In the future, more research on new antidotes and applications of existing treatments is needed, as well as evaluating long term side effects from chronic use. International collaboration helps advance the field of antidotal therapy.
This document discusses drugs that act on the autonomic nervous system. It focuses on the parasympathetic nervous system neurotransmitter acetylcholine and drugs that interact with acetylcholine receptors. Acetylcholine is the major neurotransmitter of the parasympathetic nervous system and activates muscarinic and nicotinic receptors. Drugs that mimic acetylcholine, called cholinergic drugs, directly activate muscarinic receptors or indirectly increase acetylcholine levels by inhibiting the acetylcholinesterase enzyme. Examples include pilocarpine, neostigmine, and organophosphate pesticides. Anticholinergic drugs such as atropine competitively block muscarinic receptors, producing effects like tachy

Pharmacodynamics is the study of what drugs do to the body, including their mechanisms of action, pharmacological effects, and adverse effects. Drugs can act through various mechanisms including stimulation, depression, irritation, replacement, cytotoxicity, and interactions with receptors, enzymes, ion channels, antibodies, and transporters. Adverse drug reactions can be predictable based on a drug's pharmacological properties or unpredictable idiosyncratic reactions. Predictable reactions include side effects, secondary effects, toxicity, and iatrogenic disease, while unpredictable reactions include allergies and idiosyncrasies.
The document defines antidotes as therapeutic substances that counteract the toxic actions of xenobiotics. Antidotes are classified based on their mode of action into physiological, physical, and chemical antidotes. Physiological antidotes counteract poisons through opposing pharmacological effects, while physical antidotes interfere with poisons through adsorption, coating, or dissolving. Chemical antidotes specifically interact with or neutralize toxins through complex formation or metabolic conversion into less toxic products. Common ways antidotes work include inert complex formation, accelerated detoxification, reduced toxic conversion, receptor site competition, receptor site blockage, and bypassing toxic effects.
Antidotes are substances that counteract the toxic effects of poisons or xenobiotics. They work through physical, chemical, or physiological mechanisms. Physically, antidotes can adsorb or coat toxins to prevent absorption. Chemically, antidotes can complex or interact with toxins to make them soluble and able to be eliminated. Physiologically, antidotes can produce effects opposite to toxins, compete with toxins for receptor sites, or aid in restoring normal function. Activated charcoal is a common physical antidote that adsorbs many toxins in the gastrointestinal tract.
Soap is a salt of fatty acids. It is produced by the reaction of fats or oils with sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide. Soaps help in removing dirt and grease by dissolving them. Common soaps are sodium stearate, sodium palmitate, etc. Soap works by breaking the bonds between dirt/oil and the surface they are attached to. Their molecules have hydrophilic and hydrophobic regions which allow them to dissolve in water and remove non-water soluble dirt/oil from surfaces and skin.
Mechanism of drug action & factor modifying drug actionDipak Bari
This document discusses pharmacodynamics and the mechanisms of drug action. It explains that pharmacodynamics is the study of biochemical and physiological effects of drugs and their mechanisms of action. The key mechanisms discussed are: receptor-mediated binding, non-receptor mediated effects, enzyme inhibition or stimulation, and physical or chemical properties. Factors that can modify a drug's action like body weight, age, drug interactions, and tolerance are also summarized.
This document discusses poisons and antidotes. It defines a poison as any substance that causes illness, disease, or death, and provides examples like lead and cyanide poisoning. An antidote is defined as any substance that specifically reacts with or neutralizes a poison, toxic substance, or drug overdose. Antidotes can work physiologically by countering the poison's effects, chemically by changing the poison's nature, or mechanically by absorbing or expelling the poison from the body. Activated charcoal is discussed as a common antidote that works by adsorbing heavy metals, drugs, and gases. Sodium thiosulfate is included as an antidote for cyanide poisoning,
Antidotes are drugs used to treat poisoning. They can be classified based on their mechanism of action as physiological, chemical, or mechanical antidotes. Physiological antidotes work by producing effects opposite to the poison. Chemical antidotes act by combining with the poison to change its chemical nature. Mechanical antidotes prevent absorption of the poison into the body.
This document discusses principles of toxicology. It covers topics like types of toxicity including acute, subacute, subchronic and chronic toxicity. It also discusses biaccumulation, biomagnification, toxicokinetics, toxicodynamics, dose-response relationships, target organ toxicity, mechanisms of toxicity, effects of toxicity, and management of poisoning. Yellow card system, tolerance, habituation, dependence and addiction are also summarized.
This document discusses various topics related to chemistry in everyday life, including drugs, enzymes, drug targets, antacids, antihistamines, tranquilizers, analgesics, antimicrobials, antifertility chemicals, and cleansing agents. It covers classification of drugs, how drug-enzyme reactions work, different types of receptors, examples of various drugs and their effects, properties of antibiotics, antiseptics, and disinfectants, artificial sweetening agents, antioxidants, soaps, and synthetic detergents. It also provides questions related to these topics and explanations.
Pharmacodynamics is the study of the biochemical and physiological effects of drugs and their mechanisms of action. Pharmacodynamics is often referred to as “what the drug does to the body”.
In order to exert their effects, drugs usually interact in a structurally specific way with a protein receptor or act on physiological processes within the body. This activates a secondary messenger system that produces a physiological effect. Drugs do not create new action but they can only modify (alter) the functions of cells or tissues in body. The drug–receptor complex initiates alterations in biochemical and/or molecular activity of a cell by a process called signal transduction.
DRUG ACTION
For more information regarding PHARMACOVIGILANCE, CLINICAL RESEARCH, CLINICAL DATA MANAGEMENT & DRUG REGULATORY AFFAIRS kindly contact us on 9028839789
Drugs produce their effects by interacting with target biomolecules like enzymes, ion channels, transporters, and receptors. The main types of drug action are stimulation, depression, irritation, and replacement. Drugs can stimulate or inhibit enzymes, affect the opening of ion channels, inhibit transporters, and act as agonists, antagonists, or partial agonists at receptors. The drug effect is the ultimate change in biological function that occurs through a series of steps after the initial drug-receptor interaction or prevention of interaction.

Drug interactions can occur when two drugs are taken together and one alters the activity of the other. There are several types of interactions including drug-drug, drug-food, and drug-disease. The mechanisms involve pharmaceutical, pharmacokinetic, and pharmacodynamic changes. Pharmacokinetic interactions affect absorption, distribution, metabolism or excretion of the drug. Multiple prescriptions, diseases, and other factors can increase risk. Careful consideration of a patient's full drug history and monitoring therapy can help reduce interactions. Chemical delivery systems use prodrugs to target drug release through enzymatic activation, improving delivery to specific sites and providing sustained release of the active drug. This can increase therapeutic effects while reducing side effects.

The document discusses antidotes, which are substances that counteract toxins. It defines antidotes and classifies them according to their mode of action. Antidotes work by interacting with toxins to form non-toxic complexes, accelerating detoxification, decreasing toxic metabolite formation, competing for receptors, or bypassing toxic effects. Proper antidote use combined with supportive care can significantly reduce morbidity and mortality from poisonings. A table provides examples of common toxins, corresponding antidotes, and dosages.
Pharmacodynamics studies how drugs act on the body and their mechanisms of action. There are two types of pharmacological effects - main effects which are therapeutic, and adverse effects which are unwanted. Drugs can act through receptor mechanisms, by influencing enzymes or ion channels, or through transport systems. Their effects depend on factors like chemical structure, dose, and individual variability. Interactions between drugs can cause synergism, where effects are enhanced, or antagonism, where one drug reduces another's effects. Careful consideration of benefits and risks is needed when using drugs.

5-hydroxytryptamine or 5-HT or Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that serves a range of roles in the human body. It is sometimes referred to as the happy chemical since it promotes overall well-being and happiness.
It is mostly found in the brain, intestines, and blood platelets.
5-HT is utilised to transport messages between nerve cells, is known to be involved in smooth muscle contraction, and adds to overall well-being and pleasure, among other benefits. 5-HT regulates the body's sleep-wake cycles and internal clock by acting as a precursor to melatonin.
It is hypothesised to regulate hunger, emotions, motor, cognitive, and autonomic processes.

The biomechanics of running involves the study of the mechanical principles underlying running movements. It includes the analysis of the running gait cycle, which consists of the stance phase (foot contact to push-off) and the swing phase (foot lift-off to next contact). Key aspects include kinematics (joint angles and movements, stride length and frequency) and kinetics (forces involved in running, including ground reaction and muscle forces). Understanding these factors helps in improving running performance, optimizing technique, and preventing injuries.

2. DEFINITION:
• According to WHO, an antidote is defined as a
therapeutic substance used to counteract the
toxic actions of a specified xenobiotic.
Antidotes reduce the overall burden of health
service in managing of poisoning cases.
• Antidote is a substance which is used to nullify
the harmful effect of poison .
4. PHYSIOLOGICAL ANTIDOTE
• It counteracts the effects of a poison by
producing the opposite pharmacological
effects.
e.g. ACHE inhibitor - morphine
5. CHEMICALANTIDOTE
• It interacts specifically with a toxicant or neutralize the
toxicant. e.g. Metal chelators combine with metals to
form complexes that can then be eliminated by the
kidneys.
• It mainly act by 2 mechanisms
1. Complex formation
2. Metabolic conversion.
Example : Nitrate interact with haemoglobin and cyanide
to form cyanomethaemoglobin, which is less toxic
than cyanide
6. MECHANICALANTIDOTE
• The agent which is used to interfere with
poison through physical properties, not change
their nature is known as physical antidote
• E.g : Activated charcoal (Universal antidote)
