(b) Using the equation for determining the steady state concentration for a continuous drug infusion, determine the fraction of the steady state concentration at t%, 4t%, and 6t%. The drug elimination rate constant for the drug is 0.0578 hr-¹. (c) From your answer to question (b) do you think it is a reasonable assumption to say that steady state is reached after 4-5 half lives. Please provide a brief explanation to support your answer.
Ko Cp = K² (1- e-kt) CL Cpss Ko CL 9 = (1-e-kt) Cpss (-0.05 78 (t/h)] = (1-0-0-05781 (1-e-0.0578 + 1/2)
