A patient receives a drug X, 100 mg , intravenously. The concentration of the drug in the blood measured at 1 and 8 hours after the dose are 9 mg / L and 3 mg / L respectively. If the decrease in the concentration of the drug follows
Options
- Afirst-order kinetics, the rate constant is 0.156 ~h ⁻¹ .
- Bfirst-order kinetics, and the next dose of the drug is to be administered when [ X ]=1 mg / L , then the next
- Czeroth-order kinetics, and if the next dose of the drug is to be administered when [X]=1 mg / L and after 12 h
- Dfirst-order kinetics, the half-life of the drug is 4 hours.
Correct answer
D. first-order kinetics, the half-life of the drug is 4 hours.
