THE FORMULA FOR BIOAVAILABILITY IS INCORRECT. SEE BIOAVAILABILITY FOR CORRECT FORMULA.

Ditto. This is a great article, thank you! I appreciate the simple explanation, and example problem. 204.96.18.5 (talk) 21:41, 31 March 2011 (UTC)

Could someone who knows how to edit add azithromycin to drugs that are usually given with a starting dose? Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.131.83.97 (talk) 22:08, 25 January 2010 (UTC)

Merge

See: Talk:Bolus (medicine), thanks. --Bobjgalindo (talk) 19:25, 2 November 2011 (UTC)

I disagree, coming from an experienced pharmacist - they are not the same. You can give a regular dose by bolus - i.e. a quick IV push over a few seconds, or slow IV push over 3-5 mins. Whereas a loading dose can be given as a bolus, infusion or in oral form.

Loading dose is to get treatment to therapeutic level quickly. Bolus is to get a drug into the blood quickly. They are certainly not the same. I will remove the merge template, on both pages. Cheers Lethaniol 19:03, 26 September 2012 (UTC)

Merge - Decline

I honor your request to merge but I feel that loading dose and a bolus are two distinctly different things. Therefore I feel that we should keep them seperate. Perhaps linking the articles is a better idea Alin0Steglinski (talk) 08:41, 23 August 2012 (UTC)

i agree

i agree with this statement. because there is a huge difference between loading dose and Bolus. please cheak that out. thanks.... — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rabbihossain28 (talk • contribs) 21:27, 8 October 2016 (UTC)
