How to enter a drug model

Vancomycin 1-compartment model

1. First, you will need to be using build 1.1.6 or higher, improved error checking was added, also previous versions had trouble displaying newly created models.
   Click here to jump to the download page.

2. Start the Edit drug model function by clicking File then Edit from the menu bar or by using the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+E.

3. Click the add button on the database toolbar or use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+A.

4. Enter the following data in the appropriate fields. You may, of course, use numbers for Vd and Kel which are better suited for your patients.

   Field	Data	Notes
   Drug name	Vancomycin 1cpt	Must be a unique name
   Model type	1	1-compartment model
   Vd peripheral	0.5	Volume of distribution
   Age correct	1	Vd correction for elderly
   Wt correct	0.4	Vd correction for obesity
