Dutch term or phrase: plasma-halfwaardetijd - plasma half value time ?
In a report on how to use a certain medicine:

'Gelijktijdige toediening van YYY en XXX verlengt de plasma-halfwaardetijd van XXX.'

'De plasmahalfwaardetijd is 20-30 minuten na een enkele intraveneuze dosis.'

I would be grateful if someone could confirm whether
'plasma-halfwaardetijd' can be rendered as 'plasma half value time' (1 Google hit...)

Many thanks in advance!

Thank you, especially to Titia and Mirjam, since 'plasma half-life' seems to be the more common term. Wish I could split the Kudoz here :-)
