What is a half-life?
A half-life is the time it takes for the amount of a compound in your body to fall by half. After one half-life 50% remains, after two 25%, after three 12.5%, and so on.
What does this calculator estimate?
It estimates the amount remaining after a chosen number of hours, based on the starting amount and the compound's half-life, using standard exponential decay.
What inputs do I need?
The starting amount, the compound's half-life in hours, and the time elapsed in hours. The calculator returns the estimated amount still present.
Is this accurate for my body?
It is a simplified model. Real clearance varies with metabolism, route, formulation, and other factors, so treat the result as an educational estimate, not a clinical value.
Is this medical advice?
No. It is educational pharmacokinetic math and does not provide dosing, scheduling, or medical recommendations.
