Several factors can influence the plateau levels of a substance in the body, including:
Metabolism: The rate at which a drug is metabolized can affect how quickly it reaches a plateau. Excretion: Drugs that are rapidly excreted may require more frequent dosing to maintain a plateau. Dosage: The amount and frequency of drug administration directly impact the time to reach plateau. Drug Interactions: Other substances can alter the metabolism or excretion of a drug, affecting its steady-state concentration.
