Q

Non-compartmental (stochastic) models

Most common in vet med.
statistical moments – like the Mean Residence Time (which basically represents the average amount of time any given molecule of drug stays in the body).

14
Q

The proportion of drug eliminated per unit time is fixed. The vast majority (maybe 95%) of drugs used in veterinary medicine will follow this type of kinetics at therapeutic doses, and for these drugs the compartment or stochastic models work well for predicting pharmacokinetics

Q

After 1 half-life ___% of the drug is gone

A

50%

18
Q

After 2 half-lives ___% of the drug is gone

A

75%

19
Q

After 3.3 half-lives ~___% of the drug will be gone

A

~90%

20
Q

After 5 half-lives ~___% of the drug will be gone

A

~97%

21
Q

What if we administered 2x normal dose to a food animal. Would we decrease holding time? Increase holding time? No change, and release animal at normal dose holding time?

A

We would INCREASE holding time by 1-HALF LIFE

22
Q

V/D stands for…

A

Volume of Distribution

23
Q

_____: the volume of a RX that would occupy if it was evenly distributed at the same concentration as in plasma (L/kg)

A

V/D

24
Q

CL B stands for…

A

Clearance from body

25
Q

_______: volume cleaned of the RX per unit time from the body

A

CL B

26
Q

Plasma Concentration at Steady State (CpSS)

A

is the concentration at which the amount of drug going in (repeated dosing or CRI) is equal to the amount going out (clearance CLB)

27
Q

If the dosing is continuous (CRI) plotting the plasma concentration over time would give a

A

Smooth curve

28
Q

intermittent dosing (SID, BID, TID) will give you a

A

Sawtooth pattern

29
Q

“peak” is…

A

Highest concentration of each dose

30
Q

“trough” is…

A

Lowest concentration of each dose

31
Q

as steady-state is reached the ‘peak’ value will not change day to day, nor will the ‘trough’ so if you wish to measure levels for therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) you usually will..

A

choose a particular time of day and always measure it at that same time (eg. 4 hours after the morning dose)

32
Q

Is the theoretical volume a drug would occupy if it was evenly distributed through the body at the same concentration as in plasma

A

Apparent Volume of Distribution (Vd)

33
Q

Dose/Dosage

A

mass – e.g mg/kg

34
Q

Volume of Distribution

A

usually L/kg

35
Q

Plasma drug concentration

A

mg/L

36
Q

A very _______ Vd suggests that the drug is not being distributed to all of the tissues

A

LOW

37
Q

A very _____ Vd (>1L/kg) suggests that the drug is distributing preferentially to tissue and may even be sequestered somewhere

A

HIGH

38
Q

Total Body Clearance (CLB):

A

The volume of distribution of drug in the body cleared of the drug per unit time (mL/min/kg) and this is the sum of clearance by the kidneys, liver and everywhere else, thus CLB takes into account both metabolism and excretion

39
Q

As Vd increases t1/2 increases:

A

the wider a drug is distributed then it probably has more than one compartment and so that means it has to distribute back to the central compartment to be eliminated and that will take some time

40
Q

If the Vd is lower than that redistribution doesn’t happen and at the same clearance rate the drug will be gone sooner (shorter t1/2). T or F?

A

TRUE

41
Q

As Clearance increases t1/2 decreases:

A

if we are clearing the drug faster it will be hanging around the body for a shorter time.
