# Microgram: pharmacokinetics-pk-half-life

`station__algovigilance__microgram-pharmacokinetics-pk-half-life` · native (always callable) · domain `algovigilance` · pv-relevance `pv-core`

Calculate elimination half-life from clearance and Vd. t½ = (0.693 × Vd) / CL. Clinically: ~4–5 half-lives to reach steady state or eliminate drug.

## Agent metadata

- `idempotent`: true
- `read_only`: true
- `expected_latency_ms`: unknown (not yet contract-tested)
- `cost_tokens_estimate`: unknown

## Input schema

- `clearance` *number* (required) — Systemic clearance (L/h)
- `volume_distribution` *number* (required) — Volume of distribution (L)
