Weight in kg
Number of doses of the dexamethasone (DEX) drug
The time it takes for the drug to reach the maximum concentration (i.e. Cmax) after its administration in hours (h)
The maximum concentration that achieves in the blood after the drug has been administered (ng/m)
t1_2 is the time required to decrease the drug concentration within the body by one-half during elimination in hours (h)
The integral (from 0 to 8 hours) of a curve that describes the variation of a drug concentration in the blood as a function of time it takes for a drug to reach the maximum concentration (Cmax) after administration of a drug (ng.h/m)
