Question

Pharmacologic responses can be elicited only by a:

Select one:
a. drug that is in plasma bound to proteins.
b. drug that is distributed in muscle.
c. drug that is free and unbound.
d. drug bound to plasma albumin and transported to the site of action.

Answer 1

The correct answer is d. drug bound to plasma albumin and transported to the site of action. Pharmacologic responses can only be elicited by a drug that is bound to plasma albumin and transported to the site of action.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer is d. drug bound to plasma albumin and transported to the site of action. Pharmacologic responses can be elicited only by a drug that is bound to plasma albumin and transported to the site of action. Plasma protein binding affects the distribution of a drug in the body and only the unbound drug is available to cross membrane barriers and exert pharmacological effects.
