Two-Compartment Parameters From a Biexponential Fit

Two-compartment micro-constants, volumes, clearance and half-lives from an IV bolus and a fitted biexponential curve.

Example

IV bolus dose
150
A, fast-phase intercept
10
Alpha, fast-phase rate
1
B, slow-phase intercept
5
Beta, slow-phase rate
0.1

Result: CL 2.5, Vc 10, Vss 21.25, terminal half-life 6.931.

The tool opens with these values already filled in. Replace them with your own.

What you enter

  • IV bolus dose (mg)
  • A, fast-phase intercept (mg/L)
  • Alpha, fast-phase rate (per h)
  • B, slow-phase intercept (mg/L)
  • Beta, slow-phase rate (per h)
