Reply to comment by FellowConspirator in Can you (roughly) determine the dosage of a drug taken based off of the blood concentration? by bynarie
This. Also it would help a lot to know when the dose was taken. Lots of things once they've entered the blood stream are metabolized with sort of a half life. For caffeine, for example, it's about 5.5 hours. If someone has 100mg of caffeine in their system it could be because of the cup of tea they had in the last hour, or the cup of coffee they had six hours ago.
