Its been already known in psychiatric circles that even though it has a short half life of 6 hours, its the plasma life that is more important and for almost all patients once a day Seroquel has been the norm.

What exactly is the difference between plasma life and elimination half-life? I always assumed they were one and the same. I can't find any info on how the drug is eliminated in terms of plasma life in the drug monographs. Am I missing something?
