Across
- 3. Rate of administration for multiple doses (Ra = dose/τ)
- 4. Narrow window requiring precise peak/trough control
- 6. Changing dose or interval to meet therapeutic targets
- 9. Plasma concentration just before the next dose (Cmin)
- 13. Total time measured from the first dose: (n-1)τ + t
- 14. Determines degree of accumulation and fluctuation
- 16. Giving repeated discrete drug doses over time
- 17. Increased frequency (shorter τ) reducing fluctuation but increasing accumulation
- 18. Time between doses (the dosing interval)
- 20. Ratio or spread between peak and trough concentrations
- 23. Situation where long t½ and short τ produce large buildup
- 25. Trough concentration before steady state (Cmin,n)
- 27. Concentration at a given time during the dosing interval, Cp(t)
- 28. Concentration window for safe and effective therapy
- 29. Principle that total concentration equals sum of contributions from each dose
- 30. Dosing design targeting specific steady-state peak and trough
Down
- 1. Condition where peak-trough pattern repeats with each dosing interval
- 2. First-order decrease in concentration between doses
- 5. Relationship where τ relative to t½ controls fluctuation
- 7. Within-interval time variable t that resets to zero each new interval
- 8. Initial dose used to reach steady-state levels more rapidly
- 10. Average plasma concentration at steady state
- 11. Plasma concentration immediately after a dose (Cmax)
- 12. About 4.3 half-lives are needed to reach 95% steady state
- 15. Two elements defining a multiple-dose regimen
- 19. Dosing design targeting a desired average steady-state concentration
- 21. Ratio comparing steady-state to single-dose exposure (r)
- 22. Trough at steady state (Cmin,ss)
- 24. Peak at steady state (Cmax,ss)
- 26. Increase in plasma concentrations with each dose until steady state
