Video from pharmacy by asim on YouTube
Define and distinguish desensitisation, tachyphylaxis and tolerance.
Why this video
It clearly defines and contrasts acute tachyphylaxis and chronic tolerance, explaining their differences in time course, underlying mechanisms, and response to dose escalation.
Part of this line
Covers part of this objective. It leaves out: It focuses on tolerance and tachyphylaxis, without explicitly defining desensitisation or treating it as synonymous with tachyphylaxis.
Heads up
This course considers desensitisation and tachyphylaxis to be completely synonymous terms describing acute loss of response, whereas the video presents desensitisation as a cellular mechanism contributing to tolerance.
