AUC0‐24h indicates area under the concentration‐time curve from time 0 to time 24 hours; Cmax, maximum drug concentration; CV, coefficient of variation; Rac, accumulation ratio based on Cmax and AUC0‐24h; t½,eff, effective half‐life; tmax, time to reach maximum (peak) concentration following drug administration.
