  9. The time a drug concentration is sufficient to elicit a therapeutic response
    Duration
  10. Protein binding capacity    Albumin  - large molecule – carries most protein-bound drug molecules – only limited amount that is not bound if it binds to albumin    Unbound is considered "free" if albumin is low – most of the drug is unbound – this
