Tmax and T1/2 [NCA / SHAM]
Dear Alhas,
The body does not press a button at Tmax to stop absorbing the drug and to start eliminating it. Elimination starts at the second the drug enters the body. Tmax is the time when you reach a balance between absorption and elimination: before Tmax the drug enters the body faster than it is eliminated, and concentrations increase. After Tmax the drug is eliminated faster than it is absorbed, and concentrations decrease.

Ohlbe
