IV Bolus - Example 4

Question: After an I.V. bolus dose of 500 mg the data collected in Table 4.14.1 were collected. Calculate kel and V.

Table 4.14.1 Concentration versus Time Data
Time (hr) 1 2 3 4 6 8 10
Cp (mcg/ml) 72 51 33 20 14 9 4

Plot the data on semi-log graph paper (Figure 4.14.1) and determine Cp1, Cp2, t1 and t2.

Calculator 4.14.1 Calculate Parameter Values from Two Data Points from a Line drawn through Data Collected after an IV Bolus

IV Bolus Dose:
First concentration:
Time of first Cp value:
Second concentration:
Time of second Cp value:
 
kel is:
t1/2 is:
Cp0 is:
V is:
and Total Body Clearance is:

If you get the Error Message Value is not a numeric literal or NaN this probably means that one of the required parameter fields is empty or a value is inappropriate.
