Prof. Lee uses a brief case for Gentamycin to demonstrate the previous discussed idea.

Do you still remember how to calculate the half-life and peak concentration?

Please try the following exercise: Adapted from the example in this video, given K=0.231 hr-1, t 1/2=3.0 hr. If her serum Gentamycin concentration is 5 mg/L at 12:30, what is the concentration at 15:30?
