Description: This book explains the basic concepts necessary for adjusting dosing regimens, presents equations in a conceptual manner, and describes the steps required to adjust dosages when the recommended manufacturer's dose is inadequate. The equations are developed, not through lengthy derivations, but by taking an intuitive approach. They are presented in their conceptual form, rather than a separate convenient form applicable to each clinic situation. The author defines pertinent pharmacokinetic terms, kinetic processes, and classical modeling relevant to dosing adjustments. Examples are included that emphasize an understanding of the concepts.
Review Quotes: "...introductory text... With its concise presentation and user-friendly examples, this text would best be utilized in introductory pharmocokinetics courses at the undergraduate level. It would also be a valuable addition to the reference collection of any medical library or drug information center." -American Journal of Pharmaceutical Education, vol. 65, Fall 2001
