WHAT DOES EFFECTIVE HALF-LIFE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

effective half-life

Effective half-life

Effective half-life is a concept used in pharmacokinetics to reflect the rate of accumulation or elimination of a biochemical or pharmacological substance in an organism, the biological half-life, when the kinetics are governed by multiple independent mechanisms. This is seen when there are multiple mechanisms of elimination, or when the drug occupies multiple pharmacological compartments. It reflects the cumulative effect of the individual half-lives, as observed by the changes in the actual serum concentration of a drug under a given dosing regimen. The complexity of biological systems means that most pharmacological substances do not have a single mechanisms of elimination, and hence the observed or effective half-life does not reflect that of a single process, but rather the summation of multiple independent processes.

Definition of effective half-life in the English dictionary

The definition of effective half-life in the dictionary is the time required for half of a quantity of radioactive material absorbed by a living tissue or organism to be removed by both elimination and decay.
