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 Rate of Infusion of Drug?
Rate of Infusion of Drug calculator uses Rate of Infusion = Volume of Plasma Cleared*Concentration of Drug to calculate the Rate of Infusion, The Rate of infusion of drug formula is defined as the product of amount of drug in a given volume of plasma to the volume of plasma cleared of the drug per unit time. Rate of Infusion is denoted by kin symbol.
How to calculate Rate of Infusion of Drug using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Rate of Infusion of Drug, enter Volume of Plasma Cleared (CL) & Concentration of Drug (Css) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Rate of Infusion of Drug calculation can be explained with given input values -> 39.984 = 0.00048*83300.
