Level - medication

Hi,

When you start taking medication to boost your mood, it takes a while before it kicks in.

It basically has to reach a certain level in your system before it starts working. I’m not sure how to describe it and I don’t even know if ‘level’ is the right word.

In my native language we’d just say that the medication needs to establish a certain level before it starts having any effect, but I have doubts about whether it makes sense in English.

What do you think?

Thank you.

Scientists have established, by experiment, certain dosages for the safety and effectiveness of these dru
