Hiya all.
I'm sorry if this is the wrong place to post, so if so, please accept my apologies.
I'm totally stuck on a question so any help would be very gratefully received.
The therapeutic plasma level for the drug is a concentration between 27-80mg/litre. The drug has a half-life of 4 hours (assume the patient has 5 litres of blood) and a bio-availability of 90%.
After giving an initial loading dose of 400mg the patient will be given a regular dose of 200mg. How many hours would you suggest between doses to maintain therapeutic plasma level?
Please someone help - thankyou
