Pharmacokinetics Flashcards
After 5 half lives _______% of the drug is gone.
After 5 half lives 97% of the drug is gone.
_________________
Unlikey to have any more effect
Most drugs in veterinary medicine follow _________ kinetics
Most drugs in veterinary medicine follow First Order kinetics
Half-life (T1/2) equation
t1/2 = 0.693 x Vd / ClB
When saturation occurs, ClB (increases/decreases) and t1/2 (increases/decreases) leading to drug accumulation and potential development of side effects.
When saturation occurs, ClB (increases/decreases) and t1/2 (increases/decreases) leading to drug accumulation and potential development of side effects.
T/F: Half life is dose dependent
False, it is proportional
Dosage
“Recipe” for how much to give (mg/kg)
Bioavailability % (F%) equation
F% = AUC (extravascular) / AUC (IV) x 100%
F% is equal to ________ for IV administration
F% is equal to 100 for IV administration
One Compartment Model
Consider the body as consisting of a single, homogeneous compartment. Volume would equal the volume of distribution. Model may be closed or open taking in account for clearance.
Primary compartment method by which pharmacokinetic parameters are now determined in veterinary medicine
Stochastic model
(Non-Compartmental)
Zero Order Kinetics
Amount of drug is eliminated per unit time is fixed
Peak
Highest concentration of each dose
Dose
The amount of a drug given to an individual (mg)
Time to achieve steady state levels is (dependent/independent) of dose.
Independent
What are the components of a dosage regimen
Dosage
Route of Administration
Frequency
Duration
Plasma Concentration Steady State is reached at how many half lives
5
Extent
How much the mass (dose) of a drug changes in total
Loading Dose
Single dose administered to get the plasma concentration to a certain level, to be maintained by repeated dosing
Compartment Model
Views the patient as a number of compartments, each compartment is a collection of tissues that have similar pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetics
Use of mathematical modelsto quantitate the time course of drug disposition in man and animals
Allometric Scaling
Uses pharmacokinetic data in multiple species to try to predict the behavior of a drug in a species for which this information is unknown
