Pharmacokinetics

The highest plasma drug concentration achieved after administration. Reflects the rate and extent of absorption for oral drugs. Key parameter for determining peak-related toxicity and efficacy.

Exemplos

  • Higher Cmax with IV vs oral
  • Food effects on Cmax
  • Dose-proportional Cmax in linear PK
