No drug is recovered in the urine of this volunteer, and plasma protein binding is negligible
Calculate the following pharmacokinetic parameters of the drug:
- Elimination rate constant, k.
- Elimination half-life, t:
- Volume of distribution, V
- Clearance, CL
- Intrinsic clearance, CLim (4BC)
- Bioavailability, F
- Absorption rate constant, k.
