Q.P. Code: 383827
Time: Three Hours Maximum: 70 marks
Answer All questions
I. Elaborate on: (4 x 10 = 40)
1. Explain plasma concentration monitoring of drugs during clinical use.
2. Explain the various methods to calculate the creatinine clearance from serum
creatinine concentration.
3. The elimination half-life of an antibiotic is 3hrs with an apparent volume of
distribution equivalent to 20% of body weight. The usual therapeutic range
for this antibiotic is between 5 and 15?g/ml. Adverse toxicity for this drug is
often observed at serum concentration greater than 20?g/ml.
Calculate a dosage regimen (multiple IV doses) that will just maintain the serum
drug concentration between 5 and 15?g/ml.
