Question

After what half-lives steady-state concentration of drug is achieved?
A) 1-2 T 12
B) 3-5 T
C) 6-8 TW
D) 9-11 TV
E) 12-24 TV​

Answer 1

Answer:

After 2 half-lives, you will have reached 75% of steady state, and after 3 half-lives you will have reached 87.5% of steady state. The rule of thumb is that steady state will be achieved after 5 half-lives (97% of steady state achieved).
