A 75 kg patient is injected as an IV bolus with 200 mg of a medication. 6 hours later. After injection, plasma concentrations of the drug rise to 15 mg/L. If the volume distribution is 0.04 L/kg, what will be the total quantity of the drug in the body 6 hours after injection. What is the half-life time (expressed in minutes)?
Added by Elizaveta D.
Step 1
First, we'll calculate the total quantity of the drug in the body 6 hours after injection. Then, we'll determine the half-life of the drug based on the information provided. ### Total Quantity of Drug in the Body 6 Hours After Injection ** Show more…

Question: If the amount of a drug in the body declines from 100% (IV bolus injection) to 25% of the dose in 8 hours, what is the elimination half-life of the drug assuming first-order kinetics? Answer:

A 75 kg patient needs a medication X in the amount of 0.2 mg/kg/day. The medication comes in a liquid solution of 50 mg for every 1000 ml. How many ml of this solution will this patient need in a day? If this solution is being infused at 60 ml/hr, how long will the transfusion take?
