Loading Dose Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Loading Dose = (Target Plasma Concentration*Volume Of Distribution dose)/Bioavailability Of drug dose
LD = (C_p*V_d)/F%
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Loading Dose - (Measured in Kilogram) - The Loading Dose is the initial dose of a drug that is administered to achieve a desired plasma concentration.
Target Plasma Concentration - (Measured in Kilogram per Cubic Meter) - The Target Plasma Concentration is refer to the desired or optimal concentration of a drug in the bloodstream at a specific time after the administration.
Volume Of Distribution dose - (Measured in Cubic Meter) - The Volume of distribution dose is used to describe the apparent distribution of a drug in the body relative to its concentration in the plasma.
Bioavailability Of drug dose - The Bioavailability Of drug dose is describe the fraction or percentage of administration drug that reaches the systemic circulation in an unchanged and active form.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Target Plasma Concentration: 30 Milligram per Liter --> 0.03 Kilogram per Cubic Meter (Check conversion here)
Volume Of Distribution dose: 50 Liter --> 0.05 Cubic Meter (Check conversion here)
Bioavailability Of drug dose: 0.9 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

LD = (C_p*V_d)/F% --> (0.03*0.05)/0.9

Evaluating ... ...

LD = 0.00166666666666667

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.00166666666666667 Kilogram -->1666.66666666667 Milligram (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

1666.66666666667 ≈ 1666.667 Milligram <-- Loading Dose
