What's Zero Order Kinetics?

What's Zero Order Kinetics?

Zero order: a constant amount of drug is eliminated per unit time. For example 10mg of a drug maybe eliminated per hour, this rate of elimination is constant and is independent of the total drug concentration in the plasma. Zero order kinetics are rare Elimination mechanisms are saturable.

What are the zero order kinetics?

Zero-order kinetics is described when a constant amount of drug is eliminated per unit time but the rate is independent of the concentration of the drug.

What is a zero order process?

Zero order process (chemistry), a chemical reaction in which the rate of change of concentration is independent of the concentrations. Zeroth-order approximation, an approximation of a function by a constant. Zeroth-order logic, a form of logic without quantifiers.
