1 A loading dose decreases the time to achieve the target concentration.
A loading dose decreases the time to achieve the target concentration. When the plasma t1/2 is prolonged (for example, because of kidney disease), the time to reach steady state or the target concentration increases proportionally. Administration of a loading dose reduces the time to achieve the therapeutic plasma concentration, and in this simulation the loading dose is double the maintenance dose. Darren M. Roberts et al.
