Term · Chemistry · MLC-T-CHM-003811
The speed at which a substance is removed from the body, typically through metabolic processes and excretion. It quantifies the amount of a compound cleared per unit of time from the systemic circulation. This rate is influenced by factors such as renal function, hepatic metabolism, and drug-drug interactions.
