Q

Describe the graph of a two compartmental model

A

Initially, there is rapid decline due to elimination from central compartment and distribution to peripheral compartment.

After time t, drug begins to flow back into central compartment and concentration in both compartments will decrease proportionally.

16
Q

What are the three bioavailability values you have to consider for an oral dose?

A

Fabsorption
FGI
Fhepatic

Multiplication and not addition!

17
Q

T/F: F = AUCoral/AUCIV

A

False

This is only true if the doses are the same.

18
Q

T/F: Relative bioavailability can be greater than 1.

A

True

19
Q

What does multiple dose lead to?

A

Accumulation

20
Q

How many half-lives are required to reach steady state?

A

4 - 7

21
Q

What is the purpose of giving a loading dose?

A

To achieve therapeutic concentrations as soon as possible

22
Q

Give the formula for loading dose

A

LD = Target dose x Vd/F

23
Q

What are the assumptions behind the concept of a maintenance dose?

A
  1. Amount absorbed = amount eliminated

2. Dosing rate = elimination rate

24
Q

Give the formula for dosing rate

A

Dosing rate = Clearance x Css

25
Q

T/F: Css(ave) is the exact point where AUC is divided equally in half.

A

True

26
Q

What is the formula for the new dosing rate?

A

New Rate = Old Rate x (Desired Css/Measured Css)

27
Q

Is loading dose affected by clearance?

A

No

28
Q

T/F: Dosing interval is commonly the same as half-life

A

True

29
Q

What is the formula for maximum dosing interval?

A

MDI = ln[Cmtc/Cmec]/ke

30
Q

What will longer dosing interval result in?

A

The concentration may rise above mtc or fall below med.

31
Q

T/F: It is only in the initial stages of first-order kinetics that there is drug accumulation.

A

True

In zero order kinetics, there is accumulation all throughout.

32
Q

T/F: In zero order kinetics, there is a constant rate of elimination over time.

A

True

33
Q

What drugs become saturated at concentrations within the therapeutic range?

A

Phenytoin
Aspirin (ASA)
Carbamazepine
Ethanol

34
Q

Where is there first-order kinetics at work?

A

If an enzyme is involved in the elimination of the drug

35
Q

What is the formula for the rate of elimination in Michaelis-Menten kinetics?

A

Elimination = (Vmax x C)/(Km + C)

36
Q

What is the relationship between ethanol and clearance? Ascorbic acid and clearance?

A

Increasing concentration of ethanol leads to decreasing clearance

Increasing concentration of ascorbic acid leads to increasing clearance
