  1. 1. reaction - A severe allergic reaction like suffocating
  2. 5. - The study of how the body effects a drug
  3. 9. of action - Length of time a medication or other agents remain effective on the body
  4. 10. order - A fixed quantity of drug is eliminated per unit of time
  5. 11. level - When the amount of drug in a patients blood gives the desired response
  6. 12. life - The time it takes the body to eliminate half of the drug
  7. 13. effect - The generalized effect on the entire body
  8. 18. - A state in which a persons body adapts to a drug & can't function without
  9. 19. range - The range of serum concentrations for a drug that provides the best chance of achieving the desired response
  10. 21. - The strength by which a specific messenger binds to its receptor site
  11. 22. abuse - The use of a drug for purposes other than those prescribed
  12. 23. - A drug that prevents the body's own chemical messenger from binding to a receptor site
  13. 24. - A substance that produces an allergic reaction
  14. 25. - A drug that triggers the same cellular response as the body's own chemical messenger
  15. 27. effect - The point which no greater benefit is seen or toxicities of the drug are greater than its benefits
Down
  1. 2. effect - The effect confined to specific part of the body
  2. 3. - When a drug will cause harm and should not be used due to a specific situation
  3. 4. - The body's constant effort to maintain a state of health & stability
  4. 6. - A disease, symptom, or condition for which a drug is beneficial
  5. 7. - A dependence characterized by a perceived need to use a drug for it's mood-altering effects
  6. 8. dose - A dose given at regular intervals to keep the drug at a therapeutic level
  7. 14. effect - The desired action of a drug or reason for which it is prescribed
  8. 15. - The property of a receptor site that enables it to bind to a specific chemical messenger
  9. 16. - Quantity of drug administered at one time
  10. 17. - The fraction of a dose available to the target tissue
  11. 20. dose - An amount of drug that will bring the blood concentration rapidly to a therapeutic level
  12. 22. - The specific amount, dose number, dose frequency
  13. 23. response - Defined as a local or general reaction of the immune system to a substance
  14. 26. effect - A secondary response to a drug other than its intended primary therapeutic effect
