If 100 mg of a drug are administered intravenously, and the resultant drug plasma concentration is determined to be 2.5 ug/mL, calculate the apparent volume of distribution. The correct answer is 40 L. Please show how this question is solved.
Homework Answers
ANSWER
* Apparent volume of distribution.
Formula
Volume of distribution (VD) = Drug mass / concentration.
Drug mass = 100 mg.
Concentration = 2.5 mcg / ml
VD = 100 / 2.5
= 40 L.

You want to achieve a particular plasma concentration of a drug of approximately 81 mg/L in a 70 kg adult male. You know that the total volume of distribution for this drug is ~9L. What dose of drug should you give? (Choose the closest approximate value.) 5670 mg 729 mg correct 10 mg 9 mg In order to achieve the same plasma concentration of the above drug in an adult male who is obese (weighing 125 kg) but otherwise healthy,...

A drug that fully saturates the intestinal transporters required for its absorption necessitates 2.5 hours to be completely absorbed after administering a 100mg dose orally to a volunteer. Once absorbed, the drug has rapid distribution in the body. A 50 mg dose of the drug administered by IV bolus to the same volunteer (in a separate research session) results in plasma concentrations of 1800 ug/L at time 0 hr and 1150 ug/L at time 3.0 hr. If a patient with...

A patient is administered a drug through IV infusion at a rate of 300 mg/h. The drug is eliminated from the body via urine and the halflife is reported as 5h. Based on the patient’s weight, you are expecting a steady-state level of 7 mg/ml. A) Based on these assumptions, how much is Vd? B) A blood test shows that the concentration of the drug in the plasma is 15 mg/ml. Looking at your assumptions, what might have been wrong?...
