A BRIEF INTRODUCTION
A BRIEF INTRODUCTION
In pharmacology, a fundamental problem is how the concentration of a drug falls in the bloodstream of a patient. A drug works effectively only if its concentration in human body is more than a minimum specified level. To keep the concentration, the dose should be repeated and for that, we have to determine the time interval in which dosage should be repeated. We also need to figure out minimum dosage to be given in each cycle.
