Drug Clearance
Human Model
Plasma concentration (Cp) is directly proportional to the dose rate, and inversely proportional to the clearance (CL).
i.e. Cp = Dose rate/CL
The steady state concentration (Cpss) is thus determined by the maintenance dose rate and the clearance.
Adjust the dose rate and the clearance to see what happens to the plasma concentration.
