EFFICACY
Definition
In pharmacology, efficacy, refers to the maximum response achievable from a drug. It is often described by the parameter Emax.[1] Intrinsic activity is a relative term which describes the efficacy relative to a drug which has the highest observed efficacy. Effectiveness refers to the ability of a drug to produce a beneficial effect. A distinction is made between 'method' effectiveness which describes the effect achievable if the drug was taken as prescribed and 'use' effectiveness which is the effect obtained under typical use circumstances when adherence is not 100%. The widely used 'intention to treat' method of analysing clinical trials provides estimates of 'use' effectiveness which are typically biased compared with 'method' effectiveness.
