What is Reaction Half-Life?
Reaction half-life is the time it takes for a reaction to reach half of its original magnitude.
Effective Half-life
The effective half-life (EHL) of a drug is the time it takes for the blood concentration of a drug to be reduced by half. The EHL is important because it helps to determine how long a drug will be effective after it is taken. The EHL can vary depending on the route of administration and the individual’s metabolism.
