Pharmacokinetics

Pharmacokinetics is the study of how drugs move through the body and how the body affects drugs. It involves the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and the elimination of drugs, and is used to determine the best dose and the best route of administration. This knowledge helps to optimize therapeutic efficacy, reduce adverse effects and improve patient outcomes. The study of pharmacokinetics is fundamental to the development of new drugs and has become an essential tool in drug development, dosage and toxicity.
