Hi,

I’m also struggling with this question, can we have some guidance or examples of how to work it out? I had it as 32 hours just because thats 4 half lifes which is what the video said takes to get to a steady state, but that doesn’t take into account the infusion rate or really doing any maths as the question implies it wants by giving us more information.

Hi i would also appreciate some guidance please.

I also struggled with understanding questio 8 and wondered if there would be answers given for the short answer questions that we can self mark?

thank you

Go the Introduction of Pharmacokinetics lecture.

At the end there is a Course Transcript called Introduction to Pharmacokinetics. Welcome to the Unit.

Towards the end of that document under the heading ‘Administration of the drug and the half life’.

This provides the answer to a similar question. Follow the same process.

There is other good information in this document also on half life etc, which helps understanding also.
