'''T<sub>max</sub>''' represents the time at which the maximum concentration of a drug, '''C<sub>max</sub>''', is observed in the bloodstream after the drug has been administered. It is a crucial pharmacokinetic parameter, indicating the time point at which the drug reaches its peak concentration in the plasma. | {{DISPLAYTITLE:Time to Maximum Concentration (T<sub>max</sub>)}} | ||
'''T<sub>max</sub>''' represents the time at which the maximum concentration of a drug, '''[[Cmax|C<sub>max</sub>]]''', is observed in the bloodstream after the drug has been administered. It is a crucial [[Pharmacokinetics|pharmacokinetic]] parameter, indicating the time point at which the drug reaches its peak concentration in the plasma. | |||
