The Introductory Pharmacokinetics Workshop package provides an introduction to methods and principles involved in the calculation of pharmacokinetic parameters such as clearance, half-life, elimination rate constant, volume of distribution and area under the curve.   The package involves showing the user how to plot on semi-logarithmic paper, how to calculate area under a concentration-time curve using the Trapezoidal Rule, and how to calculate absorption rate constants using the Method of Residuals.   These concepts are shown with worked examples.   The user's understanding of these concepts is then tested by interrogating the user with questions that require the use of each method.   The performance of the user is monitored and an overall percentage score is available at the end of each question.   Contents: Methods; I.V. Dosing; I.V. Infusion; Oral Dosing; Summary of Sectins: Methods; Intravenous Bolus Dosing; Intravenous Infusion; Oral Dosing.
