Reversible means that there is an equilibrium of
E + D <-> ED
where E is enzyme and D is drug, and ED is the "complex" molecule. Irreversible binding looks like:
E + D --> ED
where the product on the right is effectively unable to become the molecules on the left again. An example of irreversible binding is COX-2 and aspirin.
