ScheduleDose object

Define drug dosing protocol

Description

A ScheduleDose object defines a series of doses to the amount of a species during a simulation. The TargetName property defines the species that receives the dose.

Each dose can have a different amount, as defined by an amount array in the Amount property. Each dose can be given at specified times, as defined by a time array in the Time property. A rate array in the Rate property defines how fast each dose is given. At each time point in the time array, a dose is given with the corresponding amount and rate.

To use a dose object in a simulation you must add the dose object to a model object and set the Active property of the dose object to true. Set the Active property to true if you always want the dose to be applied before simulating the model.

Warning

The Active property of the ScheduleDose object will be removed in a future release. Explicitly specify a dose or an array of doses as an input argument when you simulate a model using sbiosimulate.

When there are multiple active ScheduleDdose objects on a model, and there are duplicate specifications for a property value, the simulation uses the last occurrence for the property value in the array of doses. You can find out which dose you applied last by looking at the indices of the dose objects stored on the model.

Tip

You can create a combination of bolus and infusion doses by setting the rate property of a ScheduleDose object to a vector containing zeros and non-zeros.
