Study Notes
Pharmacokinetic Models
- Pharmacokinetic models are used to simplify complex processes of drug administration, including drug distribution and elimination in the body.
- These models simulate drug disposition under different conditions and time points to design dosing regimens for individuals or groups of patients.
One Compartment Model
- The one compartment model represents the body as a single compartment, oversimplifying the complexity of eliminating organs like the liver and kidneys.
- In this model, the body is depicted as a single unit where the drug is distributed uniformly throughout.
Two Compartment Model
- The two compartment model provides a better representation of the body's complexity, with the drug distributing between two compartments.
- In this model, the body is divided into two sections, with the drug distributing between them, providing a more accurate representation of drug disposition.
- The two compartment model is more detailed than the one compartment model, acknowledging that the body is not a single uniform unit.
