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 Dose of drug administered orally?
Dose of drug administered orally calculator uses Dose Non-Intravenous = (Area under Curve Non-Intravenous*Dose Intravenous)/(Area under Curve Intravenous*Bioavailability of Drug) to calculate the Dose Non-Intravenous, The Dose of drug administered orally formula is defined as the comparison the bioavailability of the active drug in systemic circulation following non-intravenous administration to the bioavailability of the same drug following intravenous administration. Dose Non-Intravenous is denoted by Dpo symbol.
How to calculate Dose of drug administered orally using this online calculator?
