Questions and Answers

What is pharmacokinetics?

  • The removal of the drug from the body
  • The distribution of the drug into the body tissues
  • The study of the effects of drugs and the mechanisms by which those effects are produced
  • The movement of the drug throughout the body (correct)

Which process involves the movement of the drug into the bloodstream?

What is the first pass effect?

  • The movement of the drug throughout the body
