Pharmokinetics Flashcards
Absorption
Site of administration to systemic circulation
Weak acid
Nonionized - crosses membrane
Ionized - cleared
Weak base
Nonionized - cross membrane
Ionized - cleared
pKa > pH
Ionized base
Unionized acid
pKa < pH
Unionized base
Ionized acid
%F
Bioavailability
AUC
Extending of drug absorption and exposure of time
Distribution
Movement from blood to tissue
Vd
Volume of body fluid drug appears to distribute to
Constant for a drug
Affect by plasma binding protein
Lower Vd - stays in blood, higher Vd - move to tissue
Metabolism
Biotransformation
Make more water soluble
Elimination
Removing drug and metabolites
1st order
Constant fraction eliminated
K
Increased, increased elimination
1/2 life
Time for concentration to be cut half
After 5 half lives, 95% of drug cleared
Clearance
Vol/time
