Elimination Half-Life theory

The elimination half-life is the time it takes for your body to reduce the amount of a substance, like a drug, by half. For example, if you have 100 units of a medication in your system and the half-life is 4 hours, after 4 hours, only 50 units remain. After another 4 hours, 25 units remain, and so on. This measure helps determine how long a drug stays active in your body, how often you might need to take it, and when it will be mostly removed from your system. It reflects the efficiency of your body’s processes to eliminate substances.
