Bioavailability Flashcards
Calculate Bioavailability of drugs
F = AUC [Route ex Oral] / AUC IV
Loading Dose
Maintenance Dose
Loading Dose: Given quickly to achieve volume of distribution/desired plasma level
Maintenance: Given to maintain plasma concentration writhing therapeutic levels over longer period of time
Loading dose calc
Ld = [Target plasma concentration * Volume distribution] / Bioavailability
*Ladies Come to Vancouver for Flowers
Maintenance dose Calc
MD = Dosing Rate * Dosing Interval
Dosing Rate = [Cp * Cl] / F
SO MD = Cp * Cl * Dose interval / F
*Maintenance Comes to DO the Cleaning of the Floor
Change of Dose in Liver/Renal disease
Maintenance Dose is Decreased
*Ld is UNCHANGED
Half lives to reach steady state
Usually 4-5 Half lives
