Cimetidine is used in the treatment and management of gastric ulcers and gastroesophageal reflux disease. In the case of an active ulcer, cimetidine can be administered continuous by IV infusion at a dose rate of 37.5 mg/hr. If the concentration of the cimetidine solution is 6 mg/ml, then how many milliliters must be available for a 4-hr infusion? Misoprostol is used to prevent NSAID-induced gastric ulcers. A daily dose consists of two tablets administered four times each day. What is the size of one day’s dose if each tablet contains 100 mcg of misoprostol?

Paclitaxel is used to treat ovarian cancer by infusion at a concentration of 0.6 mg/mL over 24 hours. A dose of 135 mg/m² has been prescribed for Sero. Sero is 1.06 m tall and weighs 92 kg. Paclitaxel comes in vials of 150 mg/25 mL. Calculate the volume of 5%w/v glucose solution that would be required to dilute the concentrated solution to prepare an paclitaxel solution of the required strength.

Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) is a protein biomarker related to colon cancer. Its concentration is known to be about 20 ng/mL in healthy people and higher than 2.5 µg/mL in the patients. The molecular weight of CEA is 180 kDa. What would be the molar concentrations (M or mole/liter) of 20 ng/mL and 2.5 ug/mL, respectively?
Assume that Ali (same patient in question 1) was prescribed vancomycin 1000 mg every 36 hours. After few days, Steady-state vancomycin concentrations were obtained before and after the fourth dose, and the peak concentration (obtained ½ hour after a 1- hour infusion of vancomycin) was 34 µg/mL while the trough concentration (obtained immediately before dosage administration) was 2.5 pg/mL. Compute a revised vancomycin dose for this patient to provide a steady-state peak concentration of 48 ug/mL and a steady- state trough concentration of 17 pg/mL. a. Estimate new rate constant (Ke) and half-life (t1/2) b. Estimate volume of distribution (Vd) using this equation Cmaxss + Cminss C. Calculate the new dose interval d. Calculate the new dose
rug-B has an elimination half-life of 9 hours, an absorption half-life of 20 minutes and linear harmacokinetics. In a patient, the plasma concentration five hours from the administration of two 60 mg cablets of the drug is 8 ug/mL. What would you expect to be the plasma concentration five hours from the administration of one 60 mg tablets? 1 ug/mL Answer 1-1
