The half-life is an extremely important variable in pharmacology, It describes the time after which the concentration of the drug in the serum has fallen to half its initial value. It is used for almost every drug. The time constant is the mathematical counterpart to this fact and describes the exponential course of pharmacological effects of drugs over time. It is the basis for the exact repetition of the medication in order to achieve a sufficient "steady state".
