Pharmacokinetics Flashcards
For IV what is Bioavaliability (F)=?
1
Vd increases if it has _________ protein binding?
decreased
Vd is highest in?
Tissues including fat
What is clearance?
Clearance=Rate of elimination of a drug/plasma drug conc.
CL=?
Vd*K
Half life is a property of?
1st order elmination
Drug takes ________ to reach steady state?
4-5 half-lives
It takes __________ half0lives to reach 90% steady state?
3.3
Formula for Half life?
t1/2=(0.7*Vd)/CL
Loading Dose=?
Loading Dose=Plasma conc. at peakVdweight/(bioavailiabilty)
Maintenance Dose=?
Plasma conc. at peakCLdosage interval
In renal or liver disease
maintenance dose=>decreased
Time to steady state solely depends on
t1/2

Ammonium Chloride
How do you treat weak acids like MTX, aspirin, TCA?
Bicarbonate
