Volume of Distribution given Area under Curve Formula Elements

Variables
Volume of Distribution
The Volume of Distribution is the parameter relating drug concentration in plasma to drug amount in the body.
Symbol: Vd
Measurement: VolumeUnit: L
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Dose
The Dose is the amount of drug administered.
Symbol: D
Measurement: Amount of SubstanceUnit: mol
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Elimination Rate Constant
Elimination Rate Constant is the rate at which a drug is removed from the body.
Symbol: ke
Measurement: First Order Reaction Rate ConstantUnit: h⁻¹
