Absorption Half-Life of Drug Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Absorption Half Life = ln(2)/Absorption Rate Constant
t_a/2 = ln(2)/k_a
This formula uses 1 Functions, 2 Variables

Functions Used

ln - The natural logarithm, also known as the logarithm to the base e, is the inverse function of the natural exponential function., ln(Number)

Variables Used

Absorption Half Life - (Measured in Second) - The Absorption Half Life is the time for the concentration of the drug to double its original value for oral and other extravascular routes.
Absorption Rate Constant - (Measured in 1 Per Second) - Absorption Rate Constant is the rate at which a drug enters into the body for oral and other extravascular routes.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Absorption Rate Constant: 0.693 1 Per Hour --> 0.0001925 1 Per Second (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

t_a/2 = ln(2)/k_a --> ln(2)/0.0001925

Evaluating ... ...

t_a/2 = 3600.76457433738

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

3600.76457433738 Second --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

3600.76457433738 ≈ 3600.765 Second <-- Absorption Half Life

(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)

What is Pharmacokinetics?

Pharmacokinetics is a branch of pharmacology dedicated to determine the fate of substances administered to a living organism. The substances of interest include any chemical xenobiotic such as: pharmaceutical drugs, pesticides, food additives, cosmetics, etc. It attempts to analyze chemical metabolism and to discover the fate of a chemical from the moment that it is administered up to the point at which it is completely eliminated from the body. Pharmacokinetics is the study of how an organism affects a drug, whereas pharmacodynamics (PD) is the study of how the drug affects the organism. Both together influence dosing, benefit, and adverse effects, as seen in PK/PD models.

How to Calculate Absorption Half-Life of Drug?

Absorption Half-Life of Drug calculator uses Absorption Half Life = ln(2)/Absorption Rate Constant to calculate the Absorption Half Life, The Absorption half-life of drug is defined as the time required for 50% of a given dose of drug to be absorbed into the systemic circulation. Absorption Half Life is denoted by t_a/2 symbol.
