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 Volume of Distribution of Drug Displacing into Body Tissue Relative to Blood?
Volume of Distribution of Drug Displacing into Body Tissue Relative to Blood calculator uses Volume of Distribution = Plasma Volume+(Apparent Tissue Volume*(Fraction Unbound in Plasma/Fraction Unbound in Tissue)) to calculate the Volume of Distribution, The Volume of distribution of drug displacing into body tissue relative to blood formula is defined as the parameter relating drug concentration in plasma to drug amount in the body tissue. Volume of Distribution is denoted by Vd symbol.
How to calculate Volume of Distribution of Drug Displacing into Body Tissue Relative to Blood using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Volume of Distribution of Drug Displacing into Body Tissue Relative to Blood, enter Plasma Volume (VP), Apparent Tissue Volume (VT), Fraction Unbound in Plasma (fu) & Fraction Unbound in Tissue (fut) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Volume of Distribution of Drug Displacing into Body Tissue Relative to Blood calculation can be explained with given input values -> 9950 = 0.005+(0.0035*(0.99/0.7)).
