Start of Infusion and Wash Out


Continuous Infusion

T1/2 and Final Destination

Relationship between steady state concentration and infusion rate

Steady State

What was wrong with this Problem


What does approaching Steady State Depend on?

Loading Dose

Advantages/Disadvantages of Loading Dose

Discontinous Dosing

Variation in Drug Concentration with Dosing Interval

Tau vs. [Steady State Min]/[Steady State Max]

Average Steady State Concentration During Intermittent Dosing

Tau vs. Swings in [Drug]

Goals in Adjusting Dosing Regimen

Case I: High Therapuetic Index and Intermediate t1/2

Case II: t1/2 is long (>24hrs)

Case III: Short t1/2 or low Therapuetic Index



Calculate K0 and Dl




Variation in Clearance and Vd from Patient to Patient
