Pharmacokinetics simulation

Pharmacokinetics simulation is a simulation method used in determining the safety levels of a drug during its development.

Purpose

Pharmacokinetics simulation gives an insight to drug efficacy and safety before exposure of individuals to the new drug that might help to improve the design of a clinical trial. Pharmacokinetics simulations help in addition in therapy planning, to stay within the therapeutic range under various physiological and pathophysiological conditions, e.g., chronic kidney disease.

Simulators

Simcyp Simulator and GastroPlus (from Simulations Plus) are simulators that take account for individual variabilities. PharmaCalc v02 and PharmaCalcCL allow to simulate individual plasma-concentration time curves based on (published) pharmacokinetic parameters such as half-life, volume of distribution etc.

gollark: It serves as a subsidy for whoever happens to rent the thing first, and does not fix any underlying problem or provide people with choices.

gollark: No, my issue is that it isn't very good charity.

gollark: I am fine with people using land for community things. I just don't think it makes much sense to randomly rent out land cheaply if you have an issue with local land pricing.

gollark: I don't even know what economic system would actually work at this point but some markety thing seems to be the best available in a lot of domains.

gollark: Convince other people with money to give you land?
