The elimination half-life measures the kinetics of loss of drug from the body as a whole once all distribution equilibria have been achieved.
The elimination half-life measures the kinetics of loss of drug from the body as a whole once all distribution equilibria have been achieved.
The half-life of a drug is the time required for the serum concentration to be reduced by 50%. Once the half-life of the drug is known, the time required for clearance can be estimated. Approximately 97% of the drug is eliminated by 5 halflives, while ~99% is eliminated by 7 half-lives.
Following i.v. administration, the terminal half-life is the time required for plasma/blood concentration to decrease by 50% after pseudo-equilibrium of distribution has been reached; then, terminal half-life is computed when the decrease in drug plasma concentration is due only to drug elimination, and the term ‘elimination half-life’ is applicable. Therefore, it is not the time necessary for the amount of the administered drug to fall by one half.
Plasma donepezil concentrations decline with a half-life of approximately 70 h. Sex, race, and smoking history have no clinically significant influence on plasma concentrations of donepezil [46–51].
