Volume of Distribution
Vd = dose/Co
Clearance
CL = 0.693 x Vd/half life
First Order Metabolism
V = Rate of Drug Metabolism = Vmax [C] / Km + [C]
Zero Order Metabolism
V = Vmax [C] / [C]
Total Clearance
CLtotal = CLhepatic + CLrenal + CLpulmonary + CLother
Dosing Rate for Css
dosing rate = (target Cplasma) (CL) / F
Loading Dose
Loading dose = Vd(desired Css plasma) / F
Dose Adjustment
new dosage = Vd(C2-C1)
Rate of Infusion
Ro = Css x CLt
CLt
clearance during half life
CL
clearance
F
Bioavailability
Vmax
maximum velocity
Km
constant of enzyme involved
at 50% Css
t = half life
at 75% Css
t = 2 x half life
at 87.5% Css
t = 3 x half life
at 90% Css
t = 3.3 x half life
at 93.75% Css
t = 4 x half life
at 96.875% Css
t = 5 x half life
C2
target plasma concentration
C1
reported plasma concentration
