Area Under the Curve (AUC)

AUC
Pharmacokinetics

The integral of the plasma concentration-time curve, representing total drug exposure. AUC0-inf is used for single-dose studies, AUC0-tau for steady-state. Primary measure of bioavailability and bioequivalence.

Exemples

  • AUC0-24h for daily dosing
  • AUC ratio for bioequivalence (80-125%)
  • Dose-normalized AUC
