Mrs B, aged 43 years, weight 56 kg, requires a loading dose of drug B. The target plasma concentration is 18.9 mg/ L, volume of distribution is 0.5 L/ kg, the salt factor is 0.9 and bioavailability fraction is 1. What is the intravenous loading dose (LD) of Drug B in milligrams (mg)? units - mg LD = Cp desired x Vd S x F Where Cp desired is the target plasma

Question
Mrs B, aged 43 years, weight 56 kg, requires a loading dose of drug B. The target plasma concentration is 18.9 mg/ L, volume of distribution is 0.5 L/ kg, the salt factor is 0.9 and bioavailability fraction is 1.
What is the intravenous loading dose (LD) of Drug B in milligrams (mg)?
units - mg
LD = Cp desired x Vd S x F
Where Cp desired is the target plasma concentration; Vd is the volume of distribution; S is the salt factor and F is the bioavailability fraction |
