Introduction To Pharmacokinetics

Single Short IV Infusion - Css

A patient is given a single short IV infusion of 700 mg of a drug over a period of 7 hours.

You now know the following:
t1/2 = 0.5 hours k = 1.386 h-1

What is the steady state concentration (Css)?

Type in your answer to the nearest half mg (eg 2.5 mg, 3.0 mg) then press the OK button.

Css is: mg
