Introduction To Pharmacokinetics

Oral Dosing - AUC

A patient is given a 500 mg dose of a drug via a single oral dose.
You now know the following:
F = 0.45        t1/2 = 1.5 hours         k = 0.462 h-1
What is the area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) of the drug?
Type in your answer to three decimal places then press the OK button.
AUC is:   mgxh/L
