Answer #1

Ordered dose of Drug A is 200mg /day

Average steady state concentration (Cp ) is 1mg / L

What is the average amount (mg ) in the body at steady state ?

Half life of Drug A - 12hours

Volume of distribution - 130L

Bioavailability - 0.9

At steady state , rate of drug administration = rate of drug elemination

Vd = AMOUNT of drug in the body /concentration in plasma (Cp)

130L = amount of drug in the body ÷1 mg/L

Amount of drug in the body = 130L × 1 mg/L

= 130 mg of drug will be present at steady state .
