The drug is first released from the form of the drug (capsule / tablet) it is the phenomenon of the transition of the medicinal substance from the form of a drug to the solution in the body's fluids, and then it is absorbed, which is understood by the transfer of the medicinal substance from the place of absorption to the general circulation. When the drug enters the general circulation, it binds to the appropriate receptors and then exerts a therapeutic effect.
Does this mean that the drug has been absorbed into the body? And it starts its action?

C max is the maximum (or peak) serum concentration that the drug reaches in a specific compartment or test area of the body after administration of the drug and before the second dose. This is a standard measurement in pharmacokinetics, the moment when, since the absorption of a drug, it reaches its highest concentration in the human body. When Cmax is reached, the concentration gradually decreases over time.
