Multiple dosing IV bolu

1. Multiple dosing: intravenous bolus
administration

2. Multiple IV Bolus Dose
Administration
Objectives:
1) To understand drug accumulation
after repeated dose administration
2) To recognize and use the
integrated equations used to
describe plasma concentrations
versus time after multiple IV. doses
3) To calculate appropriate multiple
dose drug regimen
2

3. Multiple-Dosage Regimens:
After single-dose drug administration, the
plasma drug level rises above and then
falls below the minimum effective
concentration (MEC) decline in
therapeutic effect.
To maintain prolonged therapeutic
activity, many drugs are given in a
multiple-dosage regimen.
The plasma levels of drugs given in
multiple doses must be maintained within
the narrow limits of the therapeutic
window
3

4. Ideally, a dosage regimen is established for
each drug to provide the correct plasma level
without excessive fluctuation and drug
accumulation outside the therapeutic
window.
Some drugs that have a narrow therapeutic
range (eg, digoxin and phenytoin) require
definition of the therapeutic minimum and
maximum nontoxic plasma concentrations
(MEC and MTC).

5. Multiple dosing calculations using
Superposition
Let:
Dose 1 Conc. 1
and:
Dose 2 Conc. 2
then the response system behaves according to
the superposition principle if:
Dose 1 +Dose 2 Conc. 1 + Conc. 2
and in that case the response system is a linear
response system

21. Multiple dosing calculations using
Superposition
The principle of superposition assumes
that early doses of drug do not affect the
pharmacokinetics of subsequent doses.
Therefore, the blood levels after the
second, third, or nth dose will overlay or
superimpose the blood level attained after
the (n –1)th dose

33. Time to reach steady state conc.
The time required to reach to a certain
fraction of the steady-state level is given
by:
Time required to achieve steady-state
depends on the half-life and is
independent of the rate of dosing and the
clearance
To get to 95% of the steady-state: 5 half-
lives are needed
To get to 99% of the steady-state: 7 half-

37. Example 1
To a patient 250 mg penicillin with t½ of
1 h and Vd of 25 L is administered every
6 h intravenously
1.Estimate Cmax, Cmin and Cav at steady
state
2.Has the objective of maintaining
concentration above minimum inhibitory
concentration (4 mg/L) been achieved in
this therapy? Elaborate!
3.How long did it take to reach 95% of Css?
4.Is the idea of giving a bolus dose to
achieve Css in a shorter time feasible
with regard to this drug?

39. Example 1
Drug concentration cannot be maintained above
the MIC if it is being administered every 6 h (6 x
t½). Because almost 98% of the dose is out of
the body at the time of the next administration.
However, conventionally penicillins are given
q.i.d. and it is known that they are effective.
Therefore, there is no need for keeping the
concentration above MIC during the entire
therapy.

40. Example 1
The steady-state is achieved very
rapidly (after the first dose). Since
there is no need for accumulation,
there is little justification for giving
a loading dose.

41. Example 2
A patient is receiving 1000 mg of
sulfamethoxazole iv every 12 hours
for the treatment of severe gram-
negative infection. At steady state
the maximum and minimum serum
sulfamethoxazole concentrations
were 81.5 mg/L and 40 mg/L,
respectively. Estimate the values of
K and VD
