assuming a rapid distribution and negligible elimination prior to measuring peak plasma level, what would be the volume of distribution of a drug if it is given in a single dose of 200 mg and its peak plasm concentraion is 40 mirogram per milliliter..

  #2

VD=amount of drug in the body/ plasma concentration= 200mg/0.04= 5000mg/mll???

  #3

I agree.
200mg/.04mg.ml=5L
