Drugs

We will be looking at drugs more next week, but I thought I'd summarise what we've done so far so people can have a look over the weekend and next week before the test on Friday.
  • You will need to remember that there are different kinds of drugs (such as stimulants, depressants, hallucinogens, etc.) which act on the body differently. 
  • Some are legal (paracetamol) while some aren't (Cocaine), others are legal over certain ages (alcohol).
  • Statins are important to remember.  They decrease levels of cholesterol in the blood and help stop heart attacks.
  • A double blind test is often used to test medicinal drugs before they can be sold.  This is where the doctors and the patients don't know whether they are using the new drug, the current one or a placebo.
Like the post below, you need to use the bitesize website to revise these points by doing the activities and test sections.  You could also try to log onto kerboodle (login information below, use the test student login if your name doesn't work as it will probably work at home even if it didn't work in the library) and use the textbook from 'my bookshelf' to complete some exam style questions.

    I was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer in August 2010. A valuable friend told me about Dr. Itua Herbal Center in West Africa. She gave me her phone number and email address. I quickly contacted him to guarantee that his herbal medicines will heal my cancer and I will heal forever I said OK.I ask him what is the healing process, he asks me to pay the fees I did and within 7 working days he sent me the herbal medicine and then he asked me I told my friend Gomez about the herbal drug so that he gave me to go and drink it.So after drinking for two weeks, I was cured, I am so grateful and I promise that I will do it I recommend to anyone who has cancer and that that I am doing.
