Where, C = total buffer concentration,
H3O = hydrogen ion concentration,
+
Ka = equilibrium constant for the reaction.
max = 0.576xC (Maximum Buffer Capacity Equation)
where C = total buffer concentration,
where βmax= maximum buffer capacity.
Half Life and Kinetic Calculation
2.303 where Co = initial concentration of drug,
=
where C = concentration of drug at time ‘t’.
t 1/2 = 0.693/K where t1/2 = half-life of drug,
where K = rate constant.
Body Clearance Based Calculation
Vd = M/Cp where Vd = volume of distribution,
where M = amount of drug in body
where Cp = plasma concentration of drug
Ri = Css x Vd x K where Ri = rate of infusion
where Css = steady state plasma concentration
where Vd = volume of distribution
where K = drug elimination constant
Ld = Css x Vd where Ld = loading dose of drug
where Css = steady state plasma concentration
where Vd = volume of distribution

CrCl =
72 x serum creatinine (mg/dl)
CrCl (Female) = 0.85 x male (CrCl)
