Q
  • Which order kinetics do most drugs follow?
Study These Flashcards
A

1st order kinetics

23
Q
  • Describe 1st order kinetics
Study These Flashcards
A

Rate of drug metabolism is directly proportional to the concentration of free drug

24
Q
  • Describe Zero order kinetics
Study These Flashcards
A

Rate of metabolism remains constant over time

25
* Is zero order kinetics linear or nonlinear?
Nonlinear
26
** Which drugs follow zero order kinetics?
-Ethanol, Aspirin, Phenytoin
27
* Which order of kinetics is describes as a constant fraction is eliminated per time?
1st order kinetics
28
* Describe the elimination of zero order kinetics
Constant amount of drug is eliminated per time
29
What is the most common route of excretion?
Renal
30
What is the purpose of metabolism in Phase I and II
To make the compounds more polar, preventing then from reabsorption
31
* What is the formula for total body clearance?
Total body CL=hepatic Cl + renal Cl + other Cl
32
Define extraction ratio
decline in drug concentration from the arterial to the venous side of the kidney
33
* What is the formula for extraction ratio?
Extration ratio= C2/C1 - C1 = concentration of drug entering kidneys - C2 = concentration of drug leaving kidneys
34
*What is the formula for clearance?
Cl = k * Vd = 0.693 * Vd/t1/2 -k is the elimination constant = 0.693/t1/2
35
* What is the formula for Excretion rate?
Excretion Rate = (Cl) (plasma concentration)
36
* In the Crockcroft-Gault equation, what value is used for females only?
0.85
37
*What is the Crockcroft-Gault Equation (used to adjust dosage in proortion to kidney dysfunction)?
CrCl=(140-age) x 1bw/SrCr x 72 (all x 0.85)
38
* What is the formula for half-life?
t½ = 0.693/k
39
Describe steady state concentration
When an infusion is started, the plasma concentration rises until the elimination of the drug balances the infusion of the drug.
40
Describe the kinetics of continuous IV infusions
Rate of elimination increases as the plasma concentration of drug increases
41
Is steady state concentration inversely or directly proportional to the rate of elimination?
Inversely
42
What will occur if the metabolism or the Clearance of a drug is decreased?
The steady state concentration increases
43
* What is the formula for infusion rate?
Ko = Css * Cl
44
* How long does it take a drug to reach steady state?
4 half lives
45
Does the drug infusion rate affect the time to reach steady state?
No, only the steady state is affected
46
Define loading dose
A higher single dose of drug given at the start of therapy to achieve the desired plasma concentration more rapidly
47
*What is the formula for Loading dose?
Ld = (Vd)(desired Css)
48
When giving multiple IV injections are the steady state and time required affected?
No
49
* Calculate the Vd when the dose is 120 and the concentration is 4 mg/l
Vd = Dose/Concentration | 120 mg / 4 mg/L = 30 L
50
* Calculate the needed dosage adjustment to reach the desired concentration if - Vd = 10 L - Current concentration = 100 mg/L - Desired concentration = 150 mg/L
-Vd (C2-C1) 10 L (150 mg/dl – 100 mg/L) = 10(50) = 500 mg
51
* Calculate the t½ of the drug when | K = 0.23
``` t½ = 0.693/k 0.693/0.23 = 3 hrs ```
52
* Calculate the clearance of the drug when Vd = 42 L | K = 0.38 hr-1
Cl = k * Vd | 0.38 hr-1 * 42 L = 15.96 L/hr = 266 ml/min
53
* Calculate the clearance of the drug when Vd = 30 L | t1/2 = 5.4 hr
``` Cl = 0.693 * Vd/t½ Cl = 0.693 * 30 L / 5.4 hr = 3.85 L/hr = 64.2 ml/min ```
54
*Calculate estimated CrCl of for a patient | Female, Age 65 years; IBW = 75 kg; SrCr = 1.2 mg/dl
CrCl=(140-age) x 1bw/SrCr x 72 (all x 0.85) (140 – 65) * 75 / 1.2 * 72 = 65.1 ml/min 65.1 * 0.85 = 55.3 ml/min
