What is Pharmacokinetics ?
Pharmacokinetics sometimes abbreviated as PK, 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 Clark's Equation of Dosage in Microgram?
Clark's Equation of Dosage in Microgram calculator uses Pediatric Dosage = Adult Dose*(Weight of Patient in microgram/68) to calculate the Pediatric Dosage, The Clark's Equation of Dosage in Microgram formula is defined as Clark's rule is one of the known pediatric medication dosing rules described in the medical literature that utilizes the patient's weight to calculate medication dosage. Other equations that utilize pediatric weight to calculate medication dosing include Salisbury's rule, Penna's rule, and The Body Surface Area rule, while other methods besides Clark's rule that also utilize pediatric age to calculate radio pharmaceutical medication dosages used in nuclear imaging include Young's rule, Webster's rule, and Fried's rule. Pediatric Dosage is denoted by PD symbol.
