Drug Absorption & Elimination Suppose a drug is administered as a 100 mg dose every 12 hours. The rate of absorption is proportional to the amount of the unabsorbed drug in your system. The drug is eliminated (used) from your system at a (different) rate proportional to the absorbed quantity in your system. What is the amount of the drug in your system at any given time? Does it settle down to an approximately constant level? How can we compute this? Suppose that 1. The absorption rate is 8% of free drug per hour 2. The elimination rate is 10% of the absorbed drug per hour Can we find equations -- "a mathematical model" -- to describe this situation and determine the answers? This model is known as the Bateman equation.
