Dear ElMaestro,

Thank you for the reply.

Does biological half life affect plasma concentration? What happens if a drug having greater tissue distribution redistributes to the plasma? Would not considering biological halflife not affect Cmax of period 2 (if redistribution occurs!)? Should we not assess the safety of the subjects throughout the wasout of the biological half life period?

Thanks in advance for the guidance.

Most scientists today are devoid of ideas, full of fear, intent on
producing some paltry result so that they can add to the flood
of inane papers that now constitutes “scientific progress”
in many areas.    Paul Feyerabend
