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 […]
