PK Solutions is based on an Excel template containing VBA code. The
program runs in any version of Excel (from ver. 5.0 on) and with any Windows
OS (from ver. 3.1 thru XP). An identical Macintosh version is also available.
To start PK Solutions, click on the template icon. Each time the
template icon is clicked, a new workbook of the program is made, ready
for use. The original template is never changed and is always available
to produce a new copy.
You can create as many PK Solutions workbook files as needed. Each
can be renamed and saved. Each can perform and contain as few or as
many pharmacokinetic runs as desired. With the exception that the code
and certain workspace components are secured and protected from alteration,
the program can take advantage of all the functions and features available
within Excel.
The tabs at the bottom of the opening spreadsheet each represent
a main step in the use of PK Solutions. This tour will progress through
each tab in turn.
How easy is PK Solutions? As you follow this tour, note that all
that is needed to conduct a comprehensive pharmacokinetics analysis
is (1) enter your data and click on some setup functions in the Data
Setup sheet, then (2) use your mouse to easily work through the graphical
Data Analysis page. That's all! All calculations are instantly completed
and the results and graphs available for viewing in the remaining tabbed
sheets.
