Select the false statement among the following?

A
Lipid soluble drugs tend to have higher distribution
B
Volume of distribution is reduced by high plasma protein binding
C
Loading dose is equal to Vd divided by target plasma concentration
D
T1/2 is constant in first order kinetics
High-Yield Explanation
* Lipid soluble drugs (nonpolar) have high volumes of distribution than drugs which are more polar* Volume of distribution may be increased in renal failure & hepatic failure due to fluid retention, altered body fluid. However high plasma protein binding reduces the Vd. Loading dose = volume of distribution x target plasma concentration Maintenance dose = clearance x target plasma concentration T 1/2 is constant in first order kinetics T 1/2 is directly propoional to plasma concentration in zero order kinetics Clearance is indirectly propoional to plasma concentration
