Pharmacokinetics: Membrane Transport, Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism, and Excretion of Drugs

Pharmacokinetics refers to the study of how drugs move through the body. It involves several key processes including membrane transport, absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion. Understanding these processes is crucial for predicting how drugs will behave within the body, determining appropriate dosages, and optimizing therapeutic outcomes. 1. Membrane Transport Membrane transport is how drugs cross […]

Excretion of drugs

Excretion of drugs is a pharmacokinetic process that describes the removal of drugs and their metabolites from the body. After the body has absorbed, distributed, and metabolized a drug, it eliminates the drug to maintain homeostasis and prevent drug accumulation, which could lead to toxicity. Several routes and organs are involved in drug excretion: 1. […]
