This document discusses key concepts in pharmacokinetics including half-life, steady state concentration, and clearance. It explains that half-life refers to the time it takes for a drug concentration to reduce by half and impacts dosing frequency. Steady state occurs when drug administration equals elimination within a dosing interval, resulting in constant levels. Clearance represents the ability of organs to remove drug from the bloodstream and is used to determine maintenance doses. The document provides examples of these principles and their clinical significance.
CONCEPT OF LOADING AND MAINTAINANCE DOSE.pptxNamrataSawant19
Most drugs for chronic condition are prescribed in a dosage regimen is based on the administration of a fixed constant dose(D) at fixed regular dosing intervals(T) for long period of time.
The D & T recommended by the manufacturer is based on the effective therapeutic concentration of drug in the plasma needed to treat the chronic condition.
Primary purpose of using loading dose in therapeutic treatment is to attain steady-state concentration of the drug as quickly as possible, usually right from the start of the dosage regimen for the treatment.
A brief presentation on the factors affecting bioavailability of drugs along with a quick overview on what is bioequivalence, clinical equivalence, therapeutic equivalence, chemical equivalence and pharmaceutical equivalence.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Clinical Pharmacokinetics-I [half life, order of kinetics, steady state]
1. DR BADAR UDDIN UMAR
MBBS, MPhil (Pharmacology)
Senior Lecturer, Faculty of Medicine, AIMST
2. LEARNING OBJECTIVES
To explain concept, measurement and
significance of half life
To explain concept, measurement and
significance of steady state conc.
To explain concept, measurement and
significance of clearance and kinetics of
drug elimination
3. Pharmacokinetics
Drug molecules interact with target sites to
produce effectsThe drug must be absorbed into the
bloodstream and then carried to the target
site(s)
Pharmacokinetics is the study of drug
absorption, distribution within body, and
drug elimination over time
5. Half-Life
Half-life is the time taken for the drug
concentration to fall to one half of its original
value
The elimination rate constant (k) is the
fraction of drug in the body which is removed
per unit time
6. Plasma half life (t1/2) of drug
Generally, it is measured by –
The time ….
To decline the plasma concentration of a
drug to…. 50% from the peak plasma
concentration (PPC / Tmax)
7. Plasma half life (t1/2) of drug
Time to decline conc. from 100 to 50 = 2 hr
So, t1/2 of this drug is 2 hr
8. Plasma half life (t1/2) of drug
Generally, a drug will be completely
eliminated after 6 half livesAfter 1 half-life the conc. will be 50%
After 2 half-lives it will be 25%
After 3 half-lives 12.5% and
After 4 half-lives 6.25%
After 5 half-lives 3.125%
After 6 half-lives 1.56%
9. Plasma half life (t1/2) of drug
Generally, a decline to 6.25% will usually be
far below the therapeutic threshold
For this reason it is usually said that drugs
no longer have a pharmacological effect 4
half-lives after the last dose
10. Why is half-life important ?
Half-life is a major determinant of :
The duration of action after a single dose
The time required to reach steady state
The dosing frequency
11. Importance of t 1/2
A) Estimation of dosing schedule
It defines the time interval between doses,
and is very important in the design of infusion
systems
12. B) Estimation of time to drug elimination
It gives the idea to estimate the time to total
drug elimination
Generally, most drugs will be eliminated in
approximately six half-lives
13. Plasma half-life (t1/2) of some drugs:
Benzylpenicillin: 30 min
Amoxicillin: 1 hr
Paracetamol: 2 hr
Atenolol: 7 hr
Diazepam: 40 hr
14. Elimination half life (t1/2)
Is the time taken for plasma concentration of a
drug to reduce by 50% of its initial value
After 4 half lives, elimination is 94% complete
kel = the log of 2 divided by the t1/2 = 0.693/t1/2
Likewise,
Cl = kel x Vd
so, Cl = 0.693 Vd/t1/2
t1/2 = 0.693 x Vd / Cl
Kel = elimination constant
15. Pharmacokinetic Principles
Steady State: the amount of drug
administered is equal to the amount of drug
eliminated within one dosing interval
resulting in a plateau or constant serum drug
level
Drugs with short half-life reach steady state
rapidly
Drugs with long half-life take days to weeks
to reach steady state
19. First Order Kinetics
Absorption, distribution, biotransformation
and excretion processes are mostly
occurring at rates proportional to the conc. of
drug in the plasma
A constant fraction of drug is absorbed,
distributed, biotransformed and excreted per
unit time
These processes increase in rate with
increase in conc. and decrease with falling
conc.
20. First Order Kinetics:
A constant fraction of
the drug in the body is
eliminated per unit time
The rate of elimination
is proportional to the
amount of drug in the
body
The majority of drugs
are eliminated in this
way

23. First Order Metabolism
A drug may be given in doses that produce blood
concentrations less than the Km of the enyzme for the drug.
v = Vmax [C]
Km + [C]
When
then
Km >>> [C],
v = Vmax [C] ,
Km
and
v α [C]
Metabolism of the drug is a first order process. A constant
fraction of the remaining drug is metabolized per unit time.
Most drugs are given at concentrations smaller than the Km
of the enzymes of their metabolism.
24.
25. Zero order kinetics
A constant amount of drug is eliminated per
unit time
Supply of enzymes are limited in the body
So, with increasing dose a time will come
when the supply of enzymes get saturated
At this point no elimination occur
Biotransformation or excretion remains
constant at this point
26. Zero order kinetics cont..
So, rate of processes or reaction is not
proportional to the conc. or dose
Processes showing such kinetics are known
as – Rate limited or zero order or saturation
kinetics
Some times clinically called non-linear
kinetics
27. Zero order kinetics
All enzyme mediated processes show
this type of kinetics
Passive diffusion like processes do not
show this type of kinetics
e.g. aspirin, ethanol, phenytoin etc.

32. Types of Kinetics Commonly Seen
Zero Order Kinetics
Rate = k
C = Co - kt
Constant rate of
elimination regardless of
[D]plasma
Conc. vs. time graph is
LINEAR
First Order Kinetics
Rate = k C
C = Co e-kt
Rate of elimination
proportional to plasma
concentration
Constant fraction of drug
eliminated per unit time
Conc. vs. time graph is
NOT linear, decaying
exponential
Log Conc. vs. time graph
is linear
33. Clearance
For most drugs, clearance is constant over
the concentration range
Elimination is not saturable
The rate of drug elimination is directly
proportional to concentration
This is usually referred to as first-order
elimination
34. Clearance
When clearance is first-order, it can be
estimated by calculating the area under the
curve (AUC) of the time-concentration
profile after a dose
Clearance is calculated from the dose
divided by the AUC
35. Clearance (CL)
Ability of organs of elimination (e.g. kidney, liver)
to “clear” drug from the bloodstream
Volume of fluid which is completely cleared of drug
per unit time
Units are in L/hr or L/hr/kg
Pharmacokinetic term used in determination of
maintenance doses
36. Clearance
Clearance is not the measure of the reequilibration of the drug within various body
compartments but rather the actual removal of
drug from the body with time
(usually by hepatic metabolism and/or renal
excretion)
37. Clearance
“Volume of blood in a defined region of the body
that is cleared of a drug in a unit time”
Clearance is a more useful concept in reality
than t 1/2 or kel since it takes into account blood
flow rate
Clearance varies with body weight
Also varies with degree of protein binding
38. LEARNING OUTCOMESAt the end of the lecture the pupils will be able to
To discuss the clinical significance of half life
with examples
To discuss the clinical significance of steady
state conc. with examples
To discuss the clinical significance of clearance
and kinetics of drug elimination with examples
