Expert Solution
Introduction

A drug, sometimes called medicine or medication, is a chemical molecule that, when ingested, has a biological effect on the human body. Medicine is usually provided to a person in order to prevent, cure, or treat illness, as well as to improve overall health.

The intended rate at which a medicine is taken in order to establish a stable state of dose (fixed) that is therapeutically beneficial is known as the infusion rate (dosing rate). The volume of medications ingested at a given time (ml/h) is used to calculate the infusion rate.
