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 Drug Rate Entering Body?
Drug Rate Entering Body calculator uses Absorption Rate Constant = ln(2)/Absorption Half Life to calculate the Absorption Rate Constant, The Drug Rate Entering Body formula is defined as the inverse relation of time with the rate constant. Absorption Rate Constant is denoted by ka symbol.
How to calculate Drug Rate Entering Body using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Drug Rate Entering Body, enter Absorption Half Life (ta/2) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Drug Rate Entering Body calculation can be explained with given input values -> 1.3E+7 = ln(2)/0.69.
