      Cmax is the highest plasma drug concentration observed on the plasma concentration-time curve.

    3. AUCtf for Boceprevir Tablets Versus Capsules in Fasted State [Predose through 72 hours post-dose]

      AUC is the measure of total plasma exposure of a drug over a given time period. AUC is derived from the area under the plasma drug concentration-time curve.
