Hi gang,

I'm trying to plot the overlap of taking a given amount drug at a given point, it is absorbed by the body and then has a half life in the body of a given time. I would like this as a graphical display but based on spreadsheet data.

Assume, for illustration purposes, that 10 mg is taken at 6 am. and it takes 1 hour to reach maximum levels in the bloodstream, it has a half life of 8 hours but another 10 mgs is taken 4 hours after the first dose.

If we assume that the maximum dose level in the blood stream is 1 unit that would mean a maximum would be reached at 7 am and start declining for the next 8 hours to .5 units. However, at 10 am, another 10 mgs was taken and it reaches its maximum at 11 am and then starts declining over the next 8 hours. Assume this pattern repeats at 2 pm, 6 pm, and 10 pm but then no dose is taken until 6 am the next day.

How would I create the spread sheet that would do this and then display as a visual graph?

Thanks,

Allen
