Pharmacokinetics

Every drug rises, peaks, and clears. See the concentration curve form, and how half-life and dose keep it inside the therapeutic window.

Presets

After a dose, drug concentration rises as it absorbs, then falls exponentially as the body clears it. The half-life sets the decline; the goal is to stay inside the therapeutic window — high enough to work, low enough to be safe. Educational tool, not medical advice.

Governing equation

Reading this result: Absorption (ka 1.2/h) is much faster than elimination, so the drug reaches its peak quickly (about 1.9 h) and the curve then tracks the 4-hour half-life on the way down.

How it works

A one-compartment model tracks plasma concentration as a drug absorbs and is eliminated. The half-life sets the exponential decline; dosing aims to keep levels above the minimum effective concentration but below the toxic threshold. Educational tool, not medical advice.

Frequently asked questions

Is this pharmacokinetics simulator tool really free?▾
Yes. Pharmacokinetics runs entirely in your browser using your device's own compute, so local use is free forever. You only pay Compute Tokens if you scale a job to the cloud.
Do I need to install anything?▾
No. Everything runs client-side in a modern browser — no downloads, no license, no account required to start.
Can I save or share my simulation?▾
Create a free account to save projects, and use a shareable embed or minted DOI to publish a live, interactive version anywhere.
How accurate are the results?▾
The solver uses established numerical methods, but results are for research and educational purposes and should be validated against experiment or professional review before you rely on them.
