A patient is administered a drug through IV infusion at a rate of 300 mg/h. The drug is eliminated from the body via urine and the halflife is reported as 5h. Based on the patient’s weight, you are expecting a steady-state level of 7 mg/ml. A) Based on these assumptions, how much is Vd? B) A blood test shows that the concentration of the drug in the plasma is 15 mg/ml. Looking at your assumptions, what might have been wrong?...

An antibiotic has a variable half-life from 2 to 6 h in the general population. A patient was given an IV infusion at a rate of 15 mg/h. Blood samples were taken at 8 and 48 h. Plasma concentrations were 5.5 and 6.5 mg/L respectively. Estimate the half-life of the drug in this patient.

The antiarrhythmic drug procainamide has the following characteristics: Therapeutic window 4 - 8 mg/L, half-life 3 hours, and volume of distribution 2 L/Kg. A 65 Kg patient requires an infusion in order to attain the plasmatic concentration of 6 mg/L. Recommend a loading dose and constant rate infusion (K0) for this treatment

A drug (CL = 6 L/h, Va= 150 L) is to be administered as an IV infusion. A steady-state plasma concentration of 1.2 mg L is desired. Calculate the following: (a) a suitable infusion rate, Rint (b) assuming it would take 4 half-lives to achieve the steady-state, how long would it take this drug to achieve this steady-state, tss (c) the value of a loading dose that would immediately achieve the desired steady-state plasma concentration of 1.2 mg/L, DL (d)...

The antifungal drug anidulafungin is administered by IV infusion. The maximum infusion rate is achieved when 260 ml of anidulafungin solution, which has a concentration of 0.77 mg/ml, are delivered in 3 hours. What is the maximum infusion rate in milligrams per minute? A loading dose of voriconazole consists of 5 mg for every kilogram of body mass. This dose is administered as two IV infusions separated by 12 hours. The concentration of the solution is 10 mg/ml. If a...

7. Smokers are known to have about 50% higher CL than nonsmokers for theophylline. If the average observed AUC after administration of 300 mg IV theophylline in nonsmokers is 100 mg.hr/L, what is the expected AUC in smokers after administration of the same 300 mg dose? Theophylline undergoes linear pharmacokinetics 2. After administration of a single 400 mg dose of a drug, a linear plot of the serum concentration-time prorile on a semi-log graph paper showed a y-intercept of 1mg/mL...
