What is the volume of distribution?
Volume of body fluid into which the drug distributes after admnistration
Equation for loading dose
Cp * Vd
peak concentration * volume of distribution
Equation for peak concentration
Dose /Vd
Equation for calcuating volume of distribution
dose/plasma concentration
Equation for backcalculating dose
plasma concentration * Vd
Calculating drug concentration in plasma
dose/Vd
A low volume of distribution means most of the drug is in the _________
Plasma, vs in other fluids
Drug metabolism produces a more _________ form of the drug
Water soluble
Milk is more _________ than plasma (pH)
Acidic, so basic things tend to be in it
_________ content of milk increases during the feeding period
Fat

Decreases
Drug clearance equation
Vd * Ke
Volume of distribution * fraction of drug eliminated per unit time
MD*Cp/tau
Maintenance dose * peak concentration / dosing interval (hour)
What is clearance?
Volume of plasma completely cleared of a drug in a given period of time, mostly due to kidney excretion and drug metabolism
Maintenance dose equation
MD/tau = clearance * Cp
What is the elimination rate constant?
The fraction of a drug leaving the body per unit time via all elimination processes. It lets us calculate the amount of drug remaining.
What does first-order kinetics mean in terms of pharmacokinetics?
Rate of elimination is proportional to plasma concentration
What does zero-order kinetics mean in terms of pharmacokinetics?
The rate of elimination is independent of the amount of drug in the body and is constant.
What is potency?
Concentration or dose required to produce 50% of a drug’s maximal effect
What is EC50?
“Effective Concentration 50”
The drug concentration that gives half-maximal response
What is ED50?
“Effective Dose 50”
The drug dose that gives half-maximal response
What is drug efficacy?
Maximum response achievable from a drug
Therapeutic index equation
lethal dose for 50% of people / ED50
Higher is better
It is a unitless factor
Standard drug safety margin equation
100*(LD1/ED99)
