Calculation 3
This Calculation 3 lecture focuses on key pharmacokinetic calculations that are essential for understanding drug absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME). Mastering these calculations is crucial for accurately determining drug dosages, predicting therapeutic outcomes, and ensuring patient safety.
In Calculation 3 You will learn how to:
- Calculate key pharmacokinetic parameters such as half-life (t1/2), volume of distribution (Vd), clearance (Cl), and bioavailability (F).
- Understand the relationships between dose, concentration, and response.
- Apply concepts like first-order and zero-order kinetics in drug metabolism.
- Perform loading and maintenance dose calculations for individualized therapy.
This session is vital for KAPS exam preparation and for practical applications in clinical pharmacy.
