Rates of Drug Absorption: Pharmacokinetics

The body's absorption of medicine is often modeled by a formula that depends upon a person's weight.
find such a model/formula.
Using the formula, find expressions for the rate of absorption for each of the following weights: 100 lbs., 120 lbs., 150 lbs., and 200 lbs.
Give your opinion regarding the accuracy/dependability of these types of models.


Reorganize the formula so it is solved for the weight rather than the rate.

Choose 5 different rates of absorption and use your formula to find the body weights that are associated with each rate.
I have looked under pharmacokinetics for help, I really dont understand this, is it possible for this to be broken down.


Solution Summary

Methods for calculating pharmaceutical absorption based on height and body weight are outlined.
