Details

PRE2DUP-R uses package-specific information to estimate drug exposure. Example parameters can be used as a template for creation of study specific package parameter file. PRE2DUP-R requires the package identifier, minimum, usual and maximum duration of the package, and daily dose's lower limit and the usual daily dose, both as daily DDDs. Other included information is for creating the required variables. See Package Parameters in Tutorials for more guidance.
