STUDY CARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! TIME RESPONSE RELATIONSHIP |
Therapeutic response most likely depends on concentration in the plasma. Minimum effective concentration – amount of drug required to produce a therapeutic effect. Therapeutic range – The range where drug produces its desired effect (goal of drug administration). Toxic concentration – level of drug results in serious adverse effects. Plasma half life (t1/2) – the length of time required for plasma concentration to decrease by one half after administration
