PK-PD Flashcards
Concentration Dependent
- Define
Increasing concentration provides best effect
Time Dependent
- Define
Being over MIC provides best effect

Mutant Selection Window
- Is between MIC (Least Susceptible) and MPC (Mutant Prevention Concentration)
Less time spent in this window means the less selection for mutants
PK/PD Index
Beta-Lactams
- Time>MIC
Everything Else:
- AUC/MIC
Aminoglycosides:
- Cmax/MIC
