    Area of Science:

    • Pharmacokinetics and drug dosing optimization.
    • Mathematical modeling in pharmacology.

    Background:

    • Achieving therapeutic drug concentrations efficiently is crucial for patient outcomes.
    • Traditional multiple dosing regimens may not always optimize the time to reach steady-state levels.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and present a specific dosage schedule for multiple dosing.
    • To achieve a desired steady-state blood drug level within a predetermined time interval.

    Main Methods:

    • Administering nonuniform doses at uniform dosage intervals during the saturation phase.
    • Solving a nonlinear equation to calculate the specific doses required for the schedule.

    Main Results:

    • A theoretical framework for optimized multiple dosing is established.
