ED50 can be defined as the median effective dose. It refers to the dose of a medication that is capable of producing a certain specific effect in 50% of the population that has taken the dose.

  • Substance A has an ED50 of 5mg/kg while substance B has an ED50 of 10mg/kg.
  • Substance A requires less dose to produce the desired effect than the substance B.

Hence, the responsiveness of substance A is greater than the substance B.
