    PKCALC is a versatile computer program designed for pharmacokinetic analysis. It simplifies data management, statistical analysis, and graphing for experimental data, enhancing research efficiency.

    Area of Science:

    • Pharmacokinetics
    • Biostatistics
    • Computational Biology

    Background:

    • Pharmacokinetic analysis requires specialized software for data handling and statistical evaluation.
    • Integration between data entry, analysis, and visualization tools is crucial for efficient research.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce PKCALC, an interactive BASIC program for pharmacokinetic analysis.
    • To detail the capabilities of PKCALC in data management, statistical analysis, and graphical representation.

    Main Methods:

    • PKCALC facilitates initial statistical analysis of multisubject data.
    • It enables data transfer between spreadsheets (e.g., LOTUS 123) and pharmacokinetic programs (ESTRIP, PCNONLIN).
    • Concentration-time data can be input manually, via DIF files, or from PKCALC-generated files.

    Main Results:

    • The program offers a main menu with nine options for comprehensive data handling.
    • Features include setting up data files for PCNONLIN and augmenting ESTRIP for PKCALC data.
    • PKCALC supports manual curve stripping and graphical plotting on linear or semilogarithmic axes.

    Conclusions:

    • PKCALC provides a user-friendly interface for essential pharmacokinetic analysis tasks.
    • Its compatibility with IBM PC and COMPAQ systems makes it accessible for researchers.
    • The program streamlines the workflow from data input to graphical output in pharmacokinetic studies.
