Dose-Response Relationship
Evaluation of the dose-response relationship or the dose-effect relationship is important in pharmacology. One can change the dose of a drug and measure a response. The response can be any type of response (e.g., decrease in systolic blood pressure by a certain amount, death of animal, etc.).
| Dose | % Response |
| 2 | 10 |
| 4 | 20 |
| 5 | 25 |
| 8 | 40 |
| 10 | 50 |
| 20 | 70 |
| 30 | 85 |
| 50 | 90 |
A sigmoid curve is obtained if the dose axis is logarithmic.
