Test 3 Flashcards
- Volume of distribution definition/equation
V= amount of drug in the body / concentration measured in plasma.
A hypothetical volume of body fluid that would be required to dissolve the total amount of drug needed to achieve the same concentration as that found in the blood.
- Cephalosporins:
Metabolism:
Elimination:
Legalities:
- Cephalosporins:
Metabolism: ONLY CEFTIOFUR IS METABOLIZED (ceftiofur is not active until metabolized).
Elimination: Most are eliminated by the kidney as the parent drug. Good for urinary tract infections.
Legalities: (excluding Cephapirin) Illegal for extralabel (except for EL purpose) use in cattle, swine, poultry
