If a drug has a half-life of 1 day and a volume of distibution of 40L, the total body clearance would be approximately

a) 8 ml/min
b) 10 ml/min
c) 19 ml/min
d) 29 ml/min
e) 35 ml/min

ITS C?

  #4

yes mehandera u r right this is C

t1/2 = 0.693 Vd/ total body clearance (TBC)

so

1440 min = 0.693 x 40,000 ml/ TBC

or

TBC = 27,720 ml/ 1440 min
TBC = 19.25 ml/min

  #5

HOW DID YOU GET 1440 MIN ?

  #6

1 day = 24 hours (each hour has 60 minutes)
so 24 x 60 = 1440 minutes
