About
It encompasses various processes, such as drug absorption through different routes (oral, intravenous, etc. ), distribution throughout the body, metabolism by enzymes, and excretion through various routes (urine, bile, etc. ). Understanding pharmacokinetics is essential for optimizing drug therapy, as it helps determine the appropriate dosage regimens and predict drug interactions or adverse effects. This Wikipedia page provides an in-depth overview of pharmacokinetics, including its history, key concepts, mathematical modeling, and applications in clinical practice and drug development.
