Multiple IV Bolus - Example Calculations 3

Question 3. A potent drug has been given by multiple IV bolus dose of 500 mg every 4 hours. Assume a one compartment linear model applies to this drug in this concentration range. The half-life and V for this drug in this patient (83.7 kg) are 3.5 hr and 0.61 L/kg, respectively. Calculate the expected Cpmax and Cpmin values at steady state.
