Pharmacokinetics: How Drugs Move Through the Body
Professor Dave Explains・2 minutes read
Pharmacokinetics involves drug movement in the body through absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion, impacting bioavailability and dosage determination through various processes like inactivation in the liver.
Insights
- Pharmacokinetics encompasses drug movement in the body, including absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion, crucial for understanding drug effects and interactions.
- Metabolism, a key aspect of pharmacokinetics, involves liver-mediated chemical reactions that can inactivate drugs, affecting bioavailability and dosage, highlighting the liver's pivotal role in drug processing.
