OFFICIAL QUESTION:
- 1. What is pictured here?
2. What does it have to do with forensic science?
Our Geek of the Week answered:
After doing some research, I believe this is a plasma concentration and time curve as applied to prescription drugs and how they are used and metabolized by the body. The relationship between dose and plasma concentration is linear, which means that if the dose is doubled, the steady state plasma concentration also doubles. I think this would have forensic applications in toxicology and the amount of a prescription drug in the system.
[BLOGGER’S NOTE: Great answer. Thanks for playing. It also depicts the notion of steady state therapeutic drug dosing. Because most drugs (other than ethanol) are not zero-order kinetic drugs, without knowing a lot about the drug’s use, it is very difficult to retrograde extrapolate the analytical chemistry results to an earlier time.]
