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?

  • Protein Binding

    • What is the first pass effect?

  • The movement of the drug throughout the body
  • The metabolism of drugs into what can be excreted
  • The impact of liver metabolism on the concentration of a drug before it reaches systemic circulation (correct)
