Slide 1-

Department of Pharmacology & Toxicology Medical University – Sofia Dr Rumen Nikolov, PhD Introduction to Pharmacology. Prescription and Drug Prescription Writing.
Slide 2-

Etymologically, pharmacology is the science of drugs (Greek pharmakon, medicine or drug; and logos, study) Pharmacology is a branch of medicine which deals with drugs. Pharmacology can be defined as the study of the selective biologic activity of drugs in living matter.
Slide 3-

A drug is a chemical substance that affects processes in living organism and used for treatment, prophylaxis (prevention) or diagnosis of the diseases. Classification of drugs: OTC (Over-the-counter) drugs - drugs that do not require a prescription. Prescription drugs - prescription drugs generally have a greater potential for adverse effects than OTC drugs, require monitoring for interactions with other medications, should only be used for a restricted time period.
Slide 4-

Sources of drugs Natural – plants, microorganisms, animals, minerals. Synthetic Semi-synthetic Biosynthetic
Slide 5-

Natural drugs Plants e.g. Morphine from Poppy capsules. Atropine from Belladonna roots. Digoxine from Digitalis leafs. Quinine from Cinchona bark. Hypericin and hyperforin from Hypericum herb. Flavone glycosides and terpenoids from Gingko leafs. Castor oil from Castor seeds.

Slide 15-

Synthetic drugs (60-65%) - They are prepared by chemical synthesis. Sulfonamides – e.g. Sulfamethoxazole, Sulfadioxine Fluoroquinolones – e.g. Ciprofloxacin, Levofloxacin, Moxifloxacin Salicylates – e.g. Acetylsalicylic acid Barbiturates – e.g. Phenobarbital Benzodiazepines – e.g. Diazepam, Bromazepam, Lorazepam Acetaminophen (Paracetamol) Isoniazid
Slide 16-

Semi-synthetic drugs They are prepared by chemical modification of natural drugs. Ampicillin from Penicillin G Dihydroergotamine from Ergotamine Dehydroemetine from Emetine
Slide 17-

Biosynthetic drugs These drugs are prepared by cloning of human DNA into bacteria like E. coli. Technique is called Recombinant DNA technology or Genetic engineering. Human insulins Human Growth Hormones (Somatropin) Human Interferons (alpha and beta) Human tissue plasminogen activator (Alteplase, Reteplase) Human Erythropoietin (Eprex)
Slide 18-

Gene therapy - It is the introduction of functional genetic material DNA into target cells top replace or supplement defective genes. It imparts new function to cells. Cancers Alzheimer’s disease Parkinson’s disease Diabetes mellitus Arterial Hypertension Cystic fibrosis Multiple sclerosis Muscular dystrophy

Pharmacopoeia An official book published by authorized institution in a country containing description of commonly used drugs with their sources, properties, uses, doses, purity and potency. Drugs contained in pharmacopoeia are official drugs. European pharmacopoeia (E.P.) British pharmacopoeia (B.P.) United States pharmacopoeia (U.S.P.) Indian pharmacopoeia (I.P.)

Prescription The prescription is a written order from a doctor to a chemist including instructions for dispensing or preparing medicines to a certain patient. It is require that the prescriptions in Bulgaria should be in Latin. The prescription order may be issued by physicians or other licensed medical practitioners and dentists.

Type of prescription forms White Prescription form Yellow Prescription form Green Prescription form Prescription form №5
Slide 25-

Doctors use a white prescription form to prescribed drugs without abuse potential.
Slide 26-

Doctors use a yellow form to prescribed drugs with high abuse potential such as opioids (e.g. morphine, methadone, fentanyl, pethidine).
Slide 27-

Doctors use a green form to prescribed drugs with low abuse potential than opioids such as benzodiazepines (e.g. Diazepam), and barbiturates (e.g. Phenobarbital)
Slide 28-

Doctors use a prescription form №5 to prescribed drugs, which are fully or partially paid by the National Health Insurance Fund.
Slide 29-

Structure of the prescription The prescription consists of seven parts including 1. Inscriptio 2. Praepositio 3. Praescriptio 4. Subscriptio 5. Signatura 6. Nomen medici 7. Nomen aegroti
