Area Under Plasma Concentration-Time Profile From Time Zero to Infinity (AUCinf) of Doxycycline

AUCinf = Area under the plasma concentration-time profile from time zero (pre-dose) to infinity.

Time frame: 0 (predose), 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, and 72 hours postdose.
