The classical procedure of administering a loading dose as a bolus intravenous iniection and at the same time starting an infusion at a constant rate could be dangerous or lead to toxicity with certain drugs. Under such conditions the ratio of the initial plasma concentration (Co1) to the steady‐state plasma concentration (Ceq1) is often large. The higher the ratio of drug in tissues/drug in plasma (i.e., the more "two compartment" the drug is) the higher will be the Co1/Ceq1ratio. A method is proposed in which initially a constant‐rate infuSion at the rate of Q1 is given over T hours (0.25 to 3 hr); then the rate is abruptly changed to a lower rate Q 2 which is maintained as long as steady state is desired. A simple relationship is given that shows what the ratio of Q1Q2 must be to attain steady state most rapidly and to minimize the ratio CMAX1C/Ceq where CMAX1 is the maximum plasma concentration attained at time T, iust as the infusion at the higher rate ceases. A simple linear graph is given that allows rapid determination of the needed ratio Q 1Q 2 Variables needed for a given drug to use the method are plasma clearance and plasma half‐life.
