Abstract

A published package of microcomputer-based pharmacokinetic programs has been expanded to include programs to calculate mean and variance above the residence time (MRT and VRT) using the method of prospective areas. Three programs, one for plasma concentration time data, one for urinary excretion data, and one for in-vitro dissolution data, are available. All programs were tested with the data obtained from original articles or from simulated theoretical data. These programs were written in a modular fashion in such a way that they form an integrated software package. In conjunction with the programs previously developed, the user can choose/select how extensively the data are to be analyzed without reentry of data. This is particularly important since proper pharmacokinetic data analysis can only be made by using different calculations with different assumptions. Graphic display and linear regression subroutines are included in each module to simplify operation for the user. The modular design also facilitates modifications, upkeep, and accommodation to new methods of calculation.
