What is the definition of absolute bioavailability (Fabs)?
What is the definition of absolute bioavailability (Fabs)?
- Fabs = Fraction of administered dose that is delivered to the systemic circulation
- Fabs = The bioavailability of a drug when administered via an intravascular dosage form compared to the bioavailability of the same drug administered IV
- Fabs = (AUC dosage A/AUC dosage B) × (Dose B/Dose A)
- Fabs = (AUC non-IV/AUC IV) × (Dose IV/Dose non-IV) (correct)
What is the formula used to calculate the adjusted daily dose of a drug that is eliminated exclusively by the kidneys?
What is the formula used to calculate the adjusted daily dose of a drug that is eliminated exclusively by the kidneys?
- Adjusted daily dose = (X0)NR * (Dose IV/Dose non-IV)
- Adjusted daily dose = (X0)NR * Bioavailability (F)
- Adjusted daily dose = (X0)NR * Normal creatinine clearance / Patient's creatinine clearance
- Adjusted daily dose = (X0)NR * Patient's creatinine clearance / Normal creatinine clearance (correct)
What is the definition of relative (comparative) bioavailability (Frel)?
What is the definition of relative (comparative) bioavailability (Frel)?
- Frel = (AUC non-IV/AUC IV) × (Dose IV/Dose non-IV)
- Frel = The bioavailability of a drug when administered via an extravascular dosage form compared to the bioavailability of the same drug administered IV
- Frel = (AUC dosage A/AUC dosage B) × (Dose B/Dose A) (correct)
- Frel = Fraction of administered dose that is delivered to the systemic circulation
