I've watched your videos during my first, second and now third year of university! Chemistry, Embriology, Physiology etc. Thank you so much! Best wishes and a big hug from Brazil!
You're a real genius , thank you so much for sharing your videos on youtube and letting other students across the world to get benefit and learn something !! God bless you ! Best of regards from Iraq !!
i dont mean to be offtopic but does anyone know of a tool to log back into an instagram account? I stupidly lost the password. I would love any tricks you can offer me!
@Duncan Archer I really appreciate your reply. I found the site through google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff atm. Takes a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
wow.. that's great sir .I learn alot .... you saved my 5 hours to read and understand the concept from book.... Thanks alot sir .... Allah bless you .Best of time from Pakistan.
seriously I was very worried about my pharma but ur lectures are a big relief , n a problem solver . god bless you and please keep continue ur work . lots of love from pakistan
I will never take a school day for granted if you are my professor. I'll never even think of absent even if I am sick. Haha. Your lectures are well explained. I wish I had this extensive lecture back then.
Hi prof, you ‘re great genius ,thank you so so so much for your amazing explanation , The way you put information is to take root in the brain, I ‘m watching your video during my third stage of pharmacy university and I send your video for my friends we are thank you so much With lots of respect,love and estimation {from Iraq 🇮🇶}
Amazing; because I got asked via pm, the key thought is the following: Some drugs are administered in a certain form (arrangement of atoms) that lacks H+; if you add H+ then (the drug hits a specific environment - in the video this environment is the acidic environment in the stomach) the added H+ combines with the initially swallowed drug; this reaction adds then a property to the drug: The drug-H+ combination is now lipid soluble; this property of the drug (being lipid soluble) is needed, so that the drug can pass the lipid bilayer that is around each cell; having passed now through the cell membrane and gotten into the cell, the drug keeps diffusing through the other side of the cell and gets into the next cell etc., until the drug went through the whole thickness of cells and reaches the blood stream (e.g. passes the complete thickness of the wall of the stomach); once in the blood stream, it will circulate until it finds it's way to the target tissue (next lecture?). Question: Can endogen drugs accumulate in fat cells also?
And another question: If weak bases avoid H+ in order to stay in the nonionized, lipophilic state, why would somebody give after a TCA overdose NaHCO3 (stated in another video on YT)? Wouldn't this even increase the effect?
thank you for sharing your lecture professor fink! it was very engaging and you managed to simplify some pretty difficult concepts! I am so glad i came across your lectures best regards!
Thank u Prof Fink, sharing ur science with US. I just have a question. Around Minute 6 u say that drugs can not enter cells by Transport Proteins. But arent SLCTs Transport drugs into the cell? !
Thank you for such amazing lectures Professor Fink, keep them coming, I'm using these for my Pharmacology exam next week at my nursing school, that can be waived if I'm able to pass it via competency exam, I'm able to process the material much easier through your lectures, btw, please put up any lectures on nutrition if you've any, thanks in advance!
This dude is a genius, in regards to the way he just laid down the knowledge of ph environment determining the form of a drug being either ionized/water soluble state/form vs. non-ionized/lipid soluble state/form! Winning!!! Granted you have to had had some prior chemistry to understand his rationale. #pharmacologymadesimple
maybe someone could't tell me if i had missunderstod something. I have always learn that the major absorption site for drug is in the small intestine because of its large surface (villi and microvilli) rather than ventriculus because of the thickness of mocusa in the ventriculus and its electrochemical gradient which is a factors that make stomach a not favorable for drug absorption. But now i have seen this video and Professor Fink is telling that drugs that are weak acid is absorbed through the stomach. As my textbook says: Thus absorption of an acidic drug such as aspirin ect. is promoted by drugs that that accelerate gastric emptying (e.g. metoclopramide) and retarded by drugs that slow gastric emptying (e.g. prophantheline), despite the fact that the acidic pH of the stomach contents favors absorption of weak acids i am little bit confuse :/
Thanks for your question.That was very interesting ro research. Here are some satisfying answers I found. pubmedcentralcanada.ca/pmcc/articles/PMC1402550/pdf/brjclinpharm00282-0010.pdf And read here the answers pls. www.physicsforums.com/threads/aspirin-absorption-in-stomach-and-intestine-is-confusing.560217/ Well, it seems so, its much more complicated than what we thought and there are few exceptions.
Thank you professor for the wonderful explanation. I have a doubt that after the drug enters into the inactive sites is there any side effects or is there any possibility of induced effect for the inactive sites.
As I describe in the Video Lecture, when the drug is at the inactive (acceptor) sites, it may not have any action on the body at the present time, but the drug IS still in the found and potentially active if it "re-distributes" (as I explain on the Video Lecture).
Good Question! The hydrophillic heads are so small (PO4 groups) that they do not create a physico-chemical wall or hindrance. In contrast, the fatty acids are some 100X larger (compared to PO4).
Fabulous lecture. I have one Q. In B2 diagram, why the arrow for free drug from gut-liver-bloodstream is bidirectional but for metabolite it is unidirectional. Please respond.
As was explained in the Video, the "active" drug is in the non-polar lipid-soluble form and can easily diffuse across membranes (including returning back to the gut). The "metabolite" is the polar water-soluble form that can not readily diffuse across membranes (& once secreted into the bloodstream will be excreted by the kidneys into the urine).
professor Fink, I work with general surgery pt. who are on pantaloc or Zantac etc, they can have feeding tubes, or decompression tubes, and sometimes nothing by mouth diet. while they need their baby Asprin(81mg) because of their underlying conditions. if their stomach acidity is reduced to such degree and taking low dose of Asprin is already too low of a dose, not to mention when you use the the crushable form of the Asprin to agree with the feeding tube. I feel like it only gives them side effects( to irritate the GI lining). Is it even worth giving them. Their is hardly any bioviability. We give standard enoxaparin for prophylaxis while in hospital.

thank u soo much sir! It's really really helpful and thank u for uploading the video but I think sound should be little louder for better understanding. .. thank u... :-)
Excellent explanation! What else can I say! This only happens in America cause it's hard to find that kind of professor somewhere else. I know what I'm saying cause I studied medicine in an university named Unibe in Costa Rica, and things are quite different over there. The professors they have, most of them, are horrible; they certainly don't know how to explain and the university itself don't give a shit about it. But thanks to professors like Fink, Usmle & UA-cam, I have managed to escape the horrible medical instruction I received there.
In fact, I;m gonna make one recommendation to those who are planning to come to Costa Rica to study medicine. Choose a better university that is called Uaca. There the teaching is great, but of course never like in the US, but it's still quite different from others private universities like Unibe which expensive like hell but also horrible as a med school. Take this info from someone who knows this's true.
What a exemplary lecturer? His students are very lucky
You changed my perspective of pharmacology and I enjoy it better
I must meet you one day
I've watched your videos during my first, second and now third year of university! Chemistry, Embriology, Physiology etc. Thank you so much! Best wishes and a big hug from Brazil!
Dear Fabiane, Thank You for your kind words! My sincere BEST WISHES for your SUCCESS!!
Another Brazilian. Fabiane vc fez farmácia?
THIS IS AMAZING, I HAVE NEVER SEEN A PROFESSOR SO EXCITED AND ENTHUSIASTIC ABOUT HIS TEACHINGS!!! so epic
You're a real genius , thank you so much for sharing your videos on youtube and letting other students across the world to get benefit and learn something !! God bless you !

Thanks so much you really help me out :D
wow.. that's great sir .I learn alot .... you saved my 5 hours to read and understand the concept from book.... Thanks alot sir .... Allah bless you .Best of time from Pakistan.
thank you for explaining the topic in the easiest possible way. relating it to the real world use is very helpful too.God bless you!
My lecturer bother herself reading the slides only ,thank you soooo much now its clear
i always rewatch this video everytime i want to teach my student.bless you professor
seriously I was very worried about my pharma but ur lectures are a big relief , n a problem solver . god bless you and please keep continue ur work . lots of love from pakistan
Thank-you Prof. Fink.. you are a God amongst men!! your youtube student in Lebanon, PA
I will never take a school day for granted if you are my professor. I'll never even think of absent even if I am sick. Haha. Your lectures are well explained. I wish I had this extensive lecture back then.
Prof. thank you for sharing your lectures on you tube, you are a genius. I benefited immensely.
Professor fink.. Can you make a video of the entire phamacokinetics? Including some Calculations and covering the concepts of ADME??
sir i am ur big fan...u made pharma easy for us...we pay u nothing bt we can pray for u....Allah almighty give u faith and success..
You are one of of not the best of the best thank you so much for all your knowledge and helping us learn thank you 🙏!

Thanks you professor, arbsorbtion of weak organic acids and weak organic bases drugs is pretty understood.😊
Amazing; because I got asked via pm, the key thought is the following: Some drugs are administered in a certain form (arrangement of atoms) that lacks H+; if you add H+ then (the drug hits a specific environment - in the video this environment is the acidic environment in the stomach) the added H+ combines with the initially swallowed drug; this reaction adds then a property to the drug: The drug-H+ combination is now lipid soluble; this property of the drug (being lipid soluble) is needed, so that the drug can pass the lipid bilayer that is around each cell; having passed now through the cell membrane and gotten into the cell, the drug keeps diffusing through the other side of the cell and gets into the next cell etc., until the drug went through the whole thickness of cells and reaches the blood stream (e.g. passes the complete thickness of the wall of the stomach); once in the blood stream, it will circulate until it finds it's way to the target tissue (next lecture?).

You are terrific! Thank you prof. Fink.
Thank you Prof. THIS IS SO CLEAR AND HELPFUL :)
You are an amazing TEACHER!❤️

Awesome video. I actually UNDERSTAND the presented pharmacokinetics !!
Thank you so much professor Fink
Your way to illustration is very interesting
You are the best! I really respect.
This dude is a genius, in regards to the way he just laid down the knowledge of ph environment determining the form of a drug being either ionized/water soluble state/form vs. non-ionized/lipid soluble state/form! Winning!!! Granted you have to had had some prior chemistry to understand his rationale. #pharmacologymadesimple
Totally! Neither my chemistry nor pharmacology professor could put the relevant concepts together in a way that made sense like this guy does.
Really amazing Doctor.... Now I'm getting it about this pharma subject....
Thanks alot...
great job sir.... awesome lecture
Thank you so much! this is SO helpful!! :)
just logging in to say thank you!
same, and to have a good weekend, i appreciate you.
Great Teacher!!

very usefull thank u ....hope theres many videos in pharmacology !!
Thank You prof. you are genius
Nice lec and explanation is very attractive
Thanks professor 🙏
if a drug is lipophilic(hydrophobic) then how it will manage to cross the hydrophilic heads of membrane which are the first boundary?
Good Question! The hydrophillic heads are so small (PO4 groups) that they do not create a physico-chemical wall or hindrance. In contrast, the fatty acids are some 100X larger (compared to PO4).
This question was inside my mind for many years ...thank you
Thank you, you are professor of professors.
awesome lecture!!!!
So energetic. NIce
Amazing lecture!
thank you professor fink awesome video
Sir You are commendable 🙏
Fabulous lecture. I have one Q. In B2 diagram, why the arrow for free drug from gut-liver-bloodstream is bidirectional but for metabolite it is unidirectional. Please respond.

professor Fink, I work with general surgery pt. who are on pantaloc or Zantac etc, they can have feeding tubes, or decompression tubes, and sometimes nothing by mouth diet. while they need their baby Asprin(81mg) because of their underlying conditions. if their stomach acidity is reduced to such degree and taking low dose of Asprin is already too low of a dose, not to mention when you use the the crushable form of the Asprin to agree with the feeding tube.

Aren't the BBB capillaries composed of endothelial cells not epithelial cells? and encapsulated by pericytes, before astrocyes?
The endothelium is a thin layer of simple squamous epithelial cells of mesodermal origin that line the interior surface of blood vessels and lymphatic vessels.

Wow thank you for your videos. That was really helpful and kept me interested. I was having such a hard time but now its so much more understandable.
PLS PROFESSOR IF ITS POSSIBLE TELL ME WHICH BOOK YOU USED DURIGN EXPILN UR LECTURE
Thank you so much for sharing this important information. You are an excellent instructor. You will always be part of my journey into the medical field!!
yolanda
its great Thanks Prof.
But... non-ionized substance may still be polar, isn't it? Or are the drugs made the way they always end up being non-polar when they are non-ionized?
What the difference between a dose and a dosage in simple terms.? Thanks
A dose refers to a specified amount of medication taken AT ONE TIME.
By contrast, the dosage is the prescribed administration of a specific amount, number, and frequency of doses OVER A SPECIFIC PERIOD OF TIME.

i enjoyed it!!
thanks Doc>
I love Ur Style in lecturing but i wish if i could have a copy of your lectures.
thanks again
peace from Iraq to U
Thank you!

Nothing else ,thanks a lot
is this a med school lecture?
The Pharmacology lectures are presented at the "Allied Health" (Nursing/Dental Hygiene/Resp Therapy) Level.
THANKS U VERY MUCH
🤗
goodstuff
Enjoyed this but scared me every time he slapped his hands! Needs some public speaking training on that affectation.
good lecture! but the slapping with your hands is bloody annoying
