Volume of Distribution given Volume of Plasma Cleared Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary
Formula Used
Volume of Distribution = Volume of Plasma Cleared/Elimination Half Life
Vd = CL/tb/2
This formula uses 3 Variables
Variables Used
Volume of Distribution - (Measured in Cubic Meter) - The Volume of Distribution is the parameter relating drug concentration in plasma to drug amount in the body.
Volume of Plasma Cleared - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Second) - The Volume of Plasma Cleared is defined as the amount of plasma cleared of the drug per unit of time.
Elimination Half Life - (Measured in Second) - Elimination Half Life is the time required for the concentration of the drug to reach half of its original value.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Volume of Plasma Cleared: 0.48 Liter per Second --> 0.00048 Cubic Meter per Second (Check conversion here)
Elimination Half Life: 12 Second --> 12 Second No Conversion Required
STEP 2: Evaluate Formula
Substituting Input Values in Formula
Vd = CL/tb/2 --> 0.00048/12
Evaluating ... ...
Vd = 4E-05
STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit
4E-05 Cubic Meter -->0.04 Liter (Check conversion here)
FINAL ANSWER
0.04 Liter <-- Volume of Distribution
(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)

Volume of Distribution given Elimination Half Life
Go Volume of Distribution = (Volume of Plasma Cleared*Elimination Half Life)/ln(2)
Volume of Distribution given Area under Curve
Go Volume of Distribution = Dose/(Elimination Rate Constant*Area Under Curve)
Volume of Distribution in Clearance of Drug
Go Volume of distribution clearance = Elimination Rate Constant Drug/Clearance Of Drug
Volume of Distribution given Volume of Plasma Cleared
Go Volume of Distribution = Volume of Plasma Cleared/Elimination Half Life

Volume of Distribution given Volume of Plasma Cleared Formula

Volume of Distribution = Volume of Plasma Cleared/Elimination Half Life
Vd = CL/tb/2

What is Pharmacokinetics?

Pharmacokinetics is a branch of pharmacology dedicated to determine the fate of substances administered to a living organism. The substances of interest include any chemical xenobiotic such as: pharmaceutical drugs, pesticides, food additives, cosmetics, etc. It attempts to analyze chemical metabolism and to discover the fate of a chemical from the moment that it is administered up to the point at which it is completely eliminated from the body. Pharmacokinetics is the study of how an organism affects a drug, whereas pharmacodynamics (PD) is the study of how the drug affects the organism. Both together influence dosing, benefit, and adverse effects, as seen in PK/PD models.

How to Calculate Volume of Distribution given Volume of Plasma Cleared?

Volume of Distribution given Volume of Plasma Cleared calculator uses Volume of Distribution = Volume of Plasma Cleared/Elimination Half Life to calculate the Volume of Distribution, The Volume of distribution given volume of plasma cleared formula is defined as the ratio of the volume of plasma cleared of the drug per unit time to the rate at which a drug is removed from the body. Volume of Distribution is denoted by Vd symbol.

How to calculate Volume of Distribution given Volume of Plasma Cleared using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Volume of Distribution given Volume of Plasma Cleared, enter Volume of Plasma Cleared (CL) & Elimination Half Life (tb/2) and hit the calculate button.
