Description

This episode covers the terminal elimination rate constant calculated using non-compartmental analysis techniques. I reviewed how the rate constant is used to estimate half-life and extrapolate AUC to infinity, reviewed the methods for calculating the terminal rate constant value, and some important points about sample selection. Finally, I gave my reasons that we should ultimately stop talking about this and fretting over the method of calculation. Instead, let’s design better PK experiments with more optimal sampling to capture decline of the drugs we are studying.
