    GlossaryArea Under the Curve

    graphical representation of total exposure to a drug over time

    Area Under the Curve (AUC) is a statistical measure used to quantify the overall exposure of a drug in the bloodstream over time. It is often used in pharmacokinetics to assess the efficacy and safety of medications by plotting the concentration of the drug against time and calculating the area beneath this plot. This helps in understanding how long and how well a drug stays active in the body.
