To have a plasma distribution value of 900 ml and plasma drug concentration to be 1.2 mg/ml what should be the amount of drug that should be given to the patient? Correct Answer 1080 mg
The apparent volume of distribution Vd is given by Amount of drug in the body (X) / plasma drug concentration (C). Vd is expressed in liters or ml. to find out the amount of drug, the equation is the apparent volume of distribution (Vd)*plasma drug concentration (C).
