Equation for volume of distribution (Vd)
Vd = amount of drug in body / amount of drug in plasma
Equation for clearance
CL = (0.693 x Vd) / half-life
Equation for loading dose
Loading dose = Steady state concentration x Vd / F
Maintenance dose equation
Maint dose = Steady state concentration x CL / F
Does a decrease in Km mean increased or decreased potency?
Increased potency
Does an increase in Vmax mean increased or decreased efficacy?
Increased efficacy
