PHARMACOLOGY & THERAPEUTICS PHARMACOKINETICS Nancy A. Muma, Ph.D. Volume of Distribution (Vd): Vd = Amount of Drug/Concentra PHARMACOLOGY & THERAPEUTICS PHARMACOKINETICS Nancy A. Muma, Ph.D. Volume of distribution (Vd): Vd = amount of drug/concentration of drug in plasma Vd = dose Cp AUC: the area under the plasma or blood-concentration:time curve. Bioavailability: F = AUC (oral) AUC (IV) MEC: usually a minimum effective concentration (i.e., MTC minimum therapeutic concentration) of drug in the blood or plasma is needed for a therapeutic effect. Clearance: A. The rate of elimination of a drug by all routes relative to the concentration of the drug in a biological fluid (usually blood or plasma). CL = rate of elimination / concentrationplasma B. CL = KVd K = elimination rate constant Elimination kinetics: A. 1st order kinetics: 1. Half-life: t2 = 0.693Vd / CL CL = KVd so t2 = 0.693 K B. 0 order kinetics: A constant amount of the drug is eliminated in a given period of time. A half-life cannot be described. Extraction ratio: 1. ER = (Ci - Co / Ci ) ER= extraction ratio Ci = concentration of drug in the blood entering an organ Co = concentration of drug in the blood exiting an organ 2. CLorgan = Q x ER Q = blood flow DOSAGE REGIMEN DESIGN Single dose: . Estimates can be made from the graph a. Half-life estimated from the slope b. Volume of distribution from extrapolation of second phase of curve back to y-intercept. Multiple Doses: A. Maintenance dose 1. For IV dose: dosing rate = CLp x Cp 2. For multiple intermittent doses: a. (F x Dose) / dosing interval = CLp x Cp b. Peak and trough drug concentrations. Peak: Cp, max = (F x dose / Vd )) / fraction loss in a dosing interval Trough: Cp, min = Cp, max x fraction remaining after dosing interval From: Katzung Concentration kinetics: log C = log C0 -k (t) 2.3 -k = log C1 - log C 2.3 t1 - t2 Plateau levels of a drug (given such that administration rate equals rate of elimination) are reach after four and one-half-lives (i.e., 4.5 x t2) B. Loading dose LD = Vd x Cp Renal disease: Dr = (D) CLsr CLs Tr = (T) CLs CLsr creatinine clearance = 160 - age (years) x weight (kg) (L/h) 22 x serum creatinine (mg/dL) 70 The predicted clearance in women is 90% of the value calculated above. .

This involves achieving a plasma concentration (Cp) within the ‘therapeutic window’, i.e. above the min- imal effective concentration (MEC), but below the minimal toxic concentration (MTC). Clinical pharmacokinetics is about all the factors that determine variability in the Cp and its time-course. The various factors are dealt with in subsequent chapters. Ideal therapeutics: effi cacy without toxicity Minimum Toxic Concentration (MTC) Ideal dosing Minimum Effective Concentration (MEC) Drug concentration Time The graph shows a continuous IV infusion at steady state, where the dose-rate is exactly appropriate for the patient’s clearance (CL). Inappropriate dosing Dosing too high in relation to the patient’s CL – toxicity likely Minimum Toxic Concentration (MTC) Minimum Effective Concentration (MEC) Dosing too low in relation to the Drug concentration patient’s CL – drug may be ineffective Time Some reasons for variation in CL Low CL High CL Normal variation Normal variation Renal impairment Increased renal blood fl ow Genetic poor metabolism Genetic hypermetabolism Liver impairment Enzyme induction Enzyme inhibition Old age/neonate 2 General overview Clinical Pharmacokinetics Pharmacokinetic factors determining ideal therapeutics If immediate effect is needed, a loading dose (LD) must be given to achieve a desired 1 concentration. The LD is determined by the volume of distribution (Vd).

  • Toxicological Profile for Radon
    RADON 205 10. GLOSSARY Some terms in this glossary are generic and may not be used in this profile. Absorbed Dose, Chemical—The amount of a substance that is either absorbed into the body or placed in contact with the skin. For oral or inhalation routes, this is normally the product of the intake quantity and the uptake fraction divided by the body weight and, if appropriate, the time, expressed as mg/kg for a single intake or mg/kg/day for multiple intakes. For dermal exposure, this is the amount of material applied to the skin, and is normally divided by the body mass and expressed as mg/kg. Absorbed Dose, Radiation—The mean energy imparted to the irradiated medium, per unit mass, by ionizing radiation. Units: rad (rad), gray (Gy). Absorbed Fraction—A term used in internal dosimetry. It is that fraction of the photon energy (emitted within a specified volume of material) which is absorbed by the volume. The absorbed fraction depends on the source distribution, the photon energy, and the size, shape and composition of the volume. Absorption—The process by which a chemical penetrates the exchange boundaries of an organism after contact, or the process by which radiation imparts some or all of its energy to any material through which it passes. Self-Absorption—Absorption of radiation (emitted by radioactive atoms) by the material in which the atoms are located; in particular, the absorption of radiation within a sample being assayed. Absorption Coefficient—Fractional absorption of the energy of an unscattered beam of x- or gamma- radiation per unit thickness (linear absorption coefficient), per unit mass (mass absorption coefficient), or per atom (atomic absorption coefficient) of absorber, due to transfer of energy to the absorber.

  • Digoxin – Loading Dose Guide (Adults)  Digoxin Is Indicated in the Management of Chronic Cardiac Failure
    Digoxin – Loading Dose Guide (Adults) Digoxin is indicated in the management of chronic cardiac failure. The therapeutic benefit of digoxin is greater in patients with ventricular dilatation. Digoxin is specifically indicated where cardiac failure is accompanied by atrial fibrillation. Digoxin is indicated in the management of certain supraventricular arrhythmias, particularly atrial fibrillation and flutter, where its major beneficial effect is to reduce the ventricular rate. Check the Digoxin-induced cardiac toxicity may resemble the presenting cardiac abnormality. If drug history toxicity is suspected, a plasma level is required prior to giving additional digoxin. When to use The intravenous route should be reserved for use in patients requiring urgent IV loading digitalisation, or if patients are nil by mouth or vomiting. The intramuscular route is painful, results in unreliable absorption and is associated with muscle necrosis and is therefore not recommended. IV loading 500 to 1000 micrograms IV Reduce dose in elderly or weight < 50 kg, or dose cardiac failure, or renal impairment Prescribe and administer the loading dose in 2 portions with half of the total dose given as the first portion and the second portion 6 hours later. Write “LOADING Dose” on the prescription Add dose to 50 - 100mL of Sodium chloride 0.9% or glucose 5% Administer using a rate controlled infusion pump over 2 hours Do NOT give as a bolus Oral 500 micrograms PO then a further 500 micrograms 6 hours later loading Write “LOADING DOSE” on the prescription dose Then assess clinically and prescribe maintenance dose if indicated Warning The loading doses may need to be reduced if digoxin or another cardiac glycoside has been given in the preceding two weeks.

This article is the second in a series of articles that aims to enhance the understanding of pharmacological principles relevant to nuclear medicine. This article will build on the introductory concepts, terminology and principles of pharmacodynamics explored in the first article in the series. Specifically, this article will focus on the basic principles associated with pharmacokinetics. Article 3 will outline pharmacology relevant to pharmaceutical interventions and adjunctive medications employed in general nuclear medicine, the fourth pharmacology relevant to pharmaceutical interventions and adjunctive medications employed in nuclear cardiology, the fifth the pharmacology related to contrast media associated with computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and the final article will address drugs in the emergency trolley. 2 Introduction As previously outlined (1), pharmacology is the scientific study of the action and effects of drugs on living systems and the interaction of drugs with living systems (1-7). For general purposes, pharmacology is divided into pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics (Figure 1). The principle of pharmacokinetics is captured by philosophy of Paracelsus (medieval alchemist); “only the dose makes a thing not a poison” (1,8,9).
