cause a therapeutic effect
(the drug's personal best)

What is the therapeutic index? - ratio of toxic dose to therapeutic dose

How do we regulate therapeutic effect or maintain critical concentration? - take drug as
directed @ same time, and until complete

What is a loading dose? - initial higher dose of a drug that may be given at the
beginning of treatment to RAPIDLY achieve a therapeutic level (usually drugs with
longer half-life)

What is a maintenance dose? - keep concentration within therapeutic range, (after
