    Half life and peak levels

    Is a compounds peak level directly related to its half life?

    For example if a compound has a half life of 6 hours does that mean it peaks at 3 hours?
    Or could it have a half life of 6 hours and peak after 30 minutes?

    I'm sure every compound is slightly different but is there a general relation between the half life and the peak level or is it not related?

    It means at 6 hours only half of the original dose remains. Then that remaining dose also has the same half life. And so on...

    I understand the concept of a half life but what about peak blood levels? Does the dose reach its peak effectiveness in coloration to its half life?

    Well, peak serum levels depend on your dose, length of cycle and injection frequency. But yes, there is correlation.
