Unlike topical and systemic ocular therapeutic systems, drug administration to the eye is costly and requires specialist intervention under sterile conditions. The main challenge is that certain eye parts are sequestered (protected) from other body parts with poor blood supply and permeability. Devices and injections are introduced directly to the site of action as local therapy. There are several newer and innovative drug delivery systems to the eye. However, we shall limit this exercise to the scope of commonly used drug delivery methods to the eye. Match the description of the treatment administration with the name of the ocular therapeutic system.

Parenteral and enteral routes of drug administration are the most common methods encountered in clinical practice. Each method has its indications, advantages and disadvantages.

Clinical Application of Variability in Drug Response

Clinical Application of Variability in Drug Response

An overview on the Classification of Adverse Drug Reactions.

This is a practical exercise of drugs' different positive and negative effects. Attempt this session when you cover drug effects in your lessons. Read through the lesson and answer the questions in each section. You can do this exercise alone or discuss it with friends taking turns answering the questions before checking the answers. Can you think of real-life situations where a patient had the intended drug effects, unwanted effects, side effects, adverse effects, and taking advantage of unintended drug effects (good unintended outcome)? Can you tell the difference? Let us know in the comments section after you attempt this exercise.
