Study Notes

Dose-Dependent Pharmacokinetics

Also termed as nonlinear pharmacokinetics

Non-Linear Pharmacokinetic Behavior

Caused by deviations from the linear pharmacokinetic profile observed with single low doses of a drug
May occur due to saturation of specialized processes, such as enzymatic reactions or active transport, at therapeutic levels
Can be altered by biliary excretion and renal nephrotoxicity
Processes of drug absorption, distribution, biotransformation, and excretion may involve non-linear pharmacokinetics

Pharmacokinetic Parameters

In nonlinear pharmacokinetics, parameters change with the size of the administered dose
In linear pharmacokinetic models, parameters are assumed to remain constant with different doses

Objectives of Understanding Non-Linear Pharmacokinetics

To predict pharmacokinetic behavior at high doses or with prolonged administration

Saturation Kinetics

Type of kinetics that transforms into a mixture of first-order and zero-order rate processes
Characterized by a decrease in elimination half-life as the dose is increased
Plasma level-time curve exhibits a plateau or sigmoid shape when a large dose is given
Process describes the elimination of drug by a saturable enzymatic process according to Michaelis-Menten kinetics

Special Cases

Phenytoin and salicylate exhibit capacity-limited elimination, where elimination kinetics change with very small doses
