PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 12 hours

A measure of how much of the drug reaches a person's bloodstream within a given period of time for the body to use. The extent of product bioavailability is estimated by the area under the blood concentration vs time curve. The area under the curve (AUC) is calculated by plotting the drug's blood levels on a graph at different times during the set period to form a curve. The area under this curve reflects the amount of drug exposure in the set time period, calculated as hour\*nanograms/milliliter (h\*ng/ml).
