  3. Effective dose (pharmacology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effective_dose_(pharmacology)

    The median effective dose is the dose that produces a quantal effect (all or nothing) in 50% of the population that takes it (median referring to the 50% population base). [6] It is also sometimes abbreviated as the ED 50, meaning "effective dose for 50% of the population". The ED50 is commonly used as a measure of the reasonable expectancy of ...

  4. EC50 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EC50

    A quantal dose response curve shows the percentage of subjects where a response is noted in an all-or-none manner (y axis) over the dose of the drug (x axis). For competition binding assays and functional antagonist assays IC 50 is the most common summary measure of the dose-response curve.

  5. Hill equation (biochemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hill_equation_(biochemistry)

    The Hill equation is used extensively in pharmacology to quantify the functional parameters of a drug [citation needed] and are also used in other areas of biochemistry. The Hill equation can be used to describe dose-response relationships, for example ion channel open-probability (P-open) vs. ligand concentration. [15]

  6. Area under the curve (pharmacokinetics) - Wikipedia

    Absolute bioavailability refers to the bioavailability of a drug when administered via an extravascular dosage form (i.e. oral tablet, suppository, subcutaneous, etc.) compared with the bioavailability of the same drug administered intravenously (IV). This is done by comparing the AUC of the non-intravenous dosage form with the AUC for the drug ...

    Eleven state Medicaid programs put lifetime treatment limits on how long addicts can be prescribed Suboxone, ranging between one and three years. Multiple state Medicaid programs have placed limits on how much an addict can take per dose. Such restrictions are based on the mistaken premise that addiction can be cured in a set time frame.

  9. Clearance (pharmacology) - Wikipedia

    In pharmacology, clearance is a pharmacokinetic parameter representing the efficiency of drug elimination. This is the rate of elimination of a substance divided by its concentration. [1]
