Why physicians and surgeons should waste time on pharmacology? • Dose predictions • Dose? ←Narrow TI[Digoxin, Li] • Range →OK for Wide TI • Mfrs → Dose range • Doses →Mfrs. [Population PK] • PK →Dose • PD →Effect of drugs & ADE • Pharmacology →Therapeutics • Clinical knowledge → Diagnosis
Dose
Treatment ↓ No effect or adverse effect ↓ Why? ↓ Plasma concn. Less or More ↓ How much to increase or decrease? Is loading dose required? • ↓ • Clinical pharmacokinetics • • • • • • • • •

Bio-availability [Foral]
• Fraction • i.v. = 100%
• Propranolol→95% absorbed →Plasma concn-25%-45% [0.25-0.45] • F [Fractional availability]= AUC oral AUC i.v. Toxic concn.

V.D • Factors affecting • Lipidsolubility & Ionization-Lignocaine and Heparin • Plasma protein binding • Tissue binding-Digoxin bound to heart,liver • Disease-CHF, Uremia • Fat:Lean body mass

Concn=2mg/L aVD=10/2mg/ L =5L =Much more thanVol.of Beaker and charcoal
Apparent volume of distribution
• aVD: “The volume that would accommodate all the drug in the body, if the concn.throughout was the same as in plasma” • Lipid insoluble: Small aVD-Eg.Gentamicin-.25L/kg • Highly protein bound-Eg.Diclofenac-0.15L/kg. • Highly tissue bound-Eg.Morphine-3.5L/kg
High vol. of distribution-poisoning-difficult to remove by dialysis
Distribution. Where do drugs go?
Volume of distribution Relative size of various distribution volumes • Plasma: 4 within liters. a 70-kg individual
• Interstitial volume: 10 liters. • Intracelullar volume: 28 liters
Plasma compartment • Vd: around 5 L. • Very high molecular weight drugs, or drugs that bind to plasma proteins excesively • Example: Heparin 4L (35)
Extracellular fluid Vd: between 4 and 14 L. Drugs that have a low molecular weight but are hydrophilic. Example: Atracuronium 11 L (815)
Vd equal or higher than total body water • Diffusion to intracelullar fluid . Vd equal to total body water. – Ethanol 38 L (34-41) – Alfentanyl 56 L (35-77)
• Drug that binds strongly to tissues. Vd higher than total body water. – Fentanyl: 280 L – Propofol: 560 L – Digoxin:385 L

It is the time required for the plasma conc. of the drug to be reduced to half of its original value

Models of drug distribution and elimination
Kinetics of Elimination

Q. A Pt. is suffering from acute asthma. What is the rate of i.v. infusion and loading dose of Theophylline to achieve a TARGET CONCN. OF 10MG./L in a patient Weighing 70kg.? Also calculate the maintenance dose by oral route for 8th hourly,12 hourly and once a day administration. Data: 1. CL=2.8L/h/70kg. 2. Foral = 0.96. 3. aVD= 35L
Calculation Loading dose: Loading dose:

Data: 1. CL=2.8L/h/70kg. 2. Foral = 0.96. 3. aVD= 35L 4. Target concn.=10mg/L
Calculation: Dosing rate: Dosing rate: [Rate of administration!] CL = Rate of elimination [Target concn.!] Plasma concn. = Rate of administration! [Dosing rate] =CLx Target concn =Dosing rate = 2.8 L/h x 10mg/L = = Dosing rate[i.v.infusion]= 28mg/h/70kg man.

d oral doses:
ng rate = 28mg/h = 720mg[Appx]/24h F= 0.96 ral Dosing rate = i.v dosing rate/ 0.96= 7 ce a day dose = 750mg, hourly = 750/3 = 250mg tid hourly = 750mg/2 = 350 mg bid. Once a day

Dosage regimens • Target level strategy: Why? Effect not quantifiable[anti-epileptic, antideppressants] Narrow safety margin[Theophylline, Digoxin] • Loading and maintenance dose: Why? • Drugs with long t1/2 If the initial dose is large to achieve target level- subsequent doses leads accumulation and toxicity If small dose are tried takes very long for the effect

TDM
• Monitoring of therapy by measuring plasma concn. •Utilizes the principle that the clinical response of a drug is directly related to its concentration in blood •Monitoring is carried out to support the management of patients receiving certain drugs
TDM Monitoring of therapy by measuring plasma concn
Useful
• Low safety margineg.digoxin, Theophylline • Individual variations large-Li • Renal failure-AG • Failure to respondAMA • Check Pt. compliance
Not useful
• Response easy to measure-BP, blood sugar, GA • Activated in bodylevodopa • Hit & run drugsReserpine • Irreversible actionOP
Revised dosing rate • Cpss- Depends on V, CL, F • Each of these show individual variation • Cpss May vary between 1/3 to 3 times.
• Revised dosing = Previous D.R x Target Cpss Rate Measured Cpss • 750mg/day x 10mg/L 15mg/L
= 500mg/day
Consider liver and renal functions
