Time required for the original dose to be reduced by half |

|
First Order Half Life Equations |
Cp = Cpo e ^(-kt)
Cpo - concentration of chemical in blood at time 0 k - elimination rate constant
Dependent only on the elimination rate constant
k = 0.693/t(half) t(half) = 0.693/k |

Half life slope |
Steeper slope = shorter half life = faster elimination |
