Which pharmacokinetic parameter is most commonly used to estimate bioavailability?
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Area under the plasma concentration–time curve
The area under the plasma concentration–time curve reflects the total drug exposure over time. It is the standard measure used to compare bioavailability between different drug formulations.
