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 Peak through Fluctuation?
Peak through Fluctuation calculator uses Peak Through Fluctuation = (Peak Plasma Concentration-Lowest Plasma Concentration)/Average Plasma Concentration to calculate the Peak Through Fluctuation, The Peak through Fluctuation formula is defined as the subtraction of minimum plasma concentration of drug from maximum plasma concentration of drug per average plasma concentration of drugs. Peak Through Fluctuation is denoted by %PTF symbol.
How to calculate Peak through Fluctuation using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Peak through Fluctuation, enter Peak Plasma Concentration (Cmax), Lowest Plasma Concentration (Cmin) & Average Plasma Concentration (Cav) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Peak through Fluctuation calculation can be explained with given input values -> 1.66 = (60900-27700)/20000.
