Drug+Action

Drug Action

=
 It can be through the digestive system by ingesting it. This process usually takes longer because digestion must take place, and in this time it begins working. ======



=
Topical drugs are those that make contact with the integumentary system by applying the substance directly to the skin. Usually, antibacterial and pain relievers are used in this way because they act faster and directly to the zone that requires it. ======

=
Injections are the ones that everyone hates. They are used to interact with the nervous system primarily, and they are normally stronger than the others. Not only because of the pain of the needle passing through your skin but because the action of the drug sometimes may cause pain. ======

=
Some of the most common side effects come from vomiting, irritation, itchy eyes or other parts up to convulsions, liver damage or respiratory depression among others. ======

=
These side effects happen when the body is trying to reject the effect the drug is having on it, and in this “battle of antibodies” it may happen some of this side effects. ======

=
The first group refers to the drugs that act directly with enzymes. This group is named Enzymes Inhibitors. They act by altering normal biochemical reactions to cause the desired medical effect. ======

=
The second group relies on those that have direct interaction between the drug and the receptor. They usually tend to work within the cell membrane to produce their pharmacological effect. ======

=
The third group is the one that contains the drugs that have non- specific interaction among the body. These are those that act by their side in a located area such as the skin surface or the gastrointestinal tract. ======

=
Drugs main purposes are to kill foreign organisms that might be harming the body. This process involves two steps. The first step is to select the toxicity of the medicine. It must kill or weak the parasite and must not harm the body, and the second step is the action. These are known as chemotherapeutic agents. ======

=
The other purpose is to stimulate or depress the normal physiological action. This are used to increase or decrease the rate of activity to cause the desired effect. ======
