The body has the ability to only metabolize a certain amount of any medication. The half life is the amount of time the body takes to eliminate half of the medication. For example Vancomyacin has a peak and a trough.....peak being the highest level of the drug an hour after the medication is infused. The trough is how much medication is left in your body approx 12-14 hours after the medication has been infused.
