Equations used in this simple pharmacokinetic model.
Equation 16.2.3 Elimination Rate Constant as a function of CLH, CLR and V
Equation 16.2.4 Absorption rate constant
Equation 16.2.5 Concencentration versus Time after a single IV Bolus Dose
Explore flow limited drug behavior by setting CLint somewhat larger (> 200 L/hr) than the hepatic blood flow rate. Change QH, fu and CLint to see which parameters have the greatest influence of half-life. Capacity limited drug behavior can be explored by setting CLint to a lower value (< 40 L/hr). Explore the effect of V on drug half-life.
Explore the model by changing the parameter(s). Add additional lines with different parameter values using the Plot Line button.
