Pharmacokinetics Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism, Excretion | Made Easy
SimpleNursing・2 minutes read
Pharmacokinetics describes the process of drugs in the body using absorption, distribution, metabolism, and elimination as key stages. Absorption, distribution, metabolism, and elimination are crucial steps in understanding how drugs work in the body.
Insights
- **Understanding Pharmacokinetics:** Pharmacokinetics breaks down the journey of medications in the body into four key stages: absorption, distribution, metabolism, and elimination, providing a comprehensive framework for studying drug action within the body.
- **Crucial Stages of Drug Interaction:** Each phase of pharmacokinetics - absorption, distribution, metabolism, and elimination - plays a vital role in determining the effectiveness and potential side effects of medications, highlighting the importance of considering these factors in drug development and dosage determination.
