    Study Notes

    Pharmacokinetic Behavior and Non-Linearity

    • Enzymes, transport mechanisms, and receptors involved in drug absorption, distribution, biotransformation, and excretion may become saturated when drugs are given at therapeutic levels, leading to non-linear pharmacokinetic behavior.

    Non-Linear Pharmacokinetics

    • Non-linear pharmacokinetics is described as the pharmacokinetic behavior observed when increased doses or chronic medication cause deviations from the linear pharmacokinetic profile observed with single low doses of the same drug.

    Causes of Non-Linear Pharmacokinetics

    • Alterations in drug absorption, distribution, and elimination, leading to non-linear pharmacokinetic behavior, are caused by saturation of enzymes, transport mechanisms, and receptors involved in these processes.
    • Renal nephrotoxicity, which alters renal drug excretion, is caused by the accumulation of toxic substances in the kidneys.

    Dose-Dependent Pharmacokinetics

    • Non-linear pharmacokinetics, where pharmacokinetic parameters change with the size of the administered dose, is referred to as dose-dependent kinetics.
    • Increased doses or chronic medication can alter enzymes, transport mechanisms, and receptors involved in drug absorption, distribution, biotransformation, and excretion, leading to deviations from the linear pharmacokinetic profile observed with single low doses of the same drug.
