3 Questions
What are some of the factors that can cause the superposition principle to not apply to the pharmacokinetics of a drug after multiple dosing?
Changes in pathophysiology, saturation of drug carrier system, enzyme induction, and enzyme inhibition
What is the effect of nonlinear pharmacokinetics on the predictability of plasma drug concentrations after multiple doses using the superposition principle?
Nonlinear pharmacokinetics generally do not have predictable plasma drug concentrations after multiple doses using the superposition principle
What is enzyme induction in pharmacokinetics?
A process by which a drug causes an increase in the activity of enzymes responsible for the metabolism of the drug
