I'm really confused about this.
alprazolam half life is roughly 12 hours, and the dosing interval is 3 times daily.
so I think its duration is 8 hours
another drug fludiazepam half life is roughly 23 hours, and the dosing interval is still 3 times daily
its duration is also 8 hours ?
for bzd drugs, it is hard to find complete data about their duration of action, the half-life and the dosing interval
question is how do I consider a drug is long acting or not ?
the previous example, should I say fludiazepam duration equals to alprazolam ? even its half life is twice as alprazolam.
