Professor Lee
The dose-response relationship is important in determining the appropriate dose of a drug for a given therapeutic effect, as well as for predicting the potential for toxicity at higher doses.
Professor Lee
Professor Lee
The therapeutic index, which is the ratio of the dose required to produce a therapeutic effect to the dose that produces toxic effects, is one way to quantify the safety of a drug.
Moonbyul was taking down notes and most of them were dozing off.
Xian
Xian
Professor!
Professor Lee
Professor Lee
Yes Mr. Wang?
Xian
Xian
May I go to the restroom?
Professor Lee
Professor Lee
Nice try
Professor Lee
Professor Lee
You can go once my class is over.
He groans in annoyance.
Professor Lee
Professor Lee
Now
Professor Lee
Professor Lee
Can anyone explain the dose response relationship using the example of a pain medication?
Minji raised her hand.
Minji
Minji
I'd be delighted to answer
Professor Lee
Professor Lee
I appreciate it Ms. Kang
Professor Lee
Professor Lee
But we should give other people a chance
Professor Lee scans through the room and saw Moonbyul.
Professor Lee
Professor Lee
Ms. Han
Professor Lee
Professor Lee
Can you explain the dose response relationship using the example of a pain medication?
Moonbyul
Moonbyul
(Damn it)
She stands up and saw Minji rolling her eyes.
Moonbyul
Moonbyul
Okay so let's say we have a pain medication that's commonly used to relieve mild to moderate pain
Moonbyul
Moonbyul
When we give a low dose of the medication, we might see a small reduction in pain intensity.
Moonbyul
Moonbyul
As we increase the dose of the medication, we would expect to see a corresponding increase in the magnitude of the pain relief.
Moonbyul
Moonbyul
However, there is a limit to this relationship, beyond which increasing the dose does not produce any additional pain relief
Moonbyul
Moonbyul
This limit is known as the ceiling effect.
Xian
Xian
Han Moonbyul for the win!
Annie
Annie
You go girl!
Everyone cheers for her.
Professor Lee
Professor Lee
Quiet down class
Professor Lee
Professor Lee
Ms. Han
Professor Lee
Professor Lee

Moonbyul
Moonbyul
The goal in determining the optimal dose of a pain medication is to find the dose that provides the maximum pain relief with the fewest side effects.
Moonbyul
Moonbyul
This requires careful monitoring of the patient's response to the medication, as well as consideration of factors such as their age, weight, and medical history.
Professor Lee
Professor Lee
Very well said Ms. Han
Professor Lee
Professor Lee
You may take your seat
She takes her seat.
