Huggins' Law
Huggins' Law states that the rate at which a drug is eliminated from the body is directly related to the concentration of the drug in the bloodstream. Essentially, the higher the drug level, the faster the body processes and removes it. As the drug concentration decreases, the elimination rate slows down proportionally. This relationship helps pharmacologists predict how long a drug will stay active in the body and guides dosing schedules to maintain effective but safe drug levels.
