Study Notes
Basic Pharmacokinetic Principles in Clinical Practice
- Pharmacokinetics involves the study of drug Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism, and Excretion (ADME).
- It encompasses the processes of drug crossing biological membranes, biotransformation of xenobiotics, and facilitating excretion of water-soluble compounds.
- The clinical significance of pharmacokinetic parameters and their application in practice is explored in the learning outcomes.
- The concept and calculation of basic pharmacokinetic parameters are covered in the presentation.
- The presentation is adapted from Dr. Abdu Soltani's work and is presented by Assoc. Prof. Dr. Abdulaziz M. Al-Mahallawi.
- Brenner and Stevens' 'Pharmacology', Elsevier 2012 Chapter 2 is referenced for pharmacokinetics and metabolism.
- The process of Absorption is dependent on the route of administration and drug physicochemical properties.
- Metabolism involves the biotransformation of xenobiotics to facilitate excretion of more water-soluble compounds.
- Distribution is the process of drug movement within the body.
- Excretion is the process of drug elimination from the body.
- The presentation aims to provide an understanding of the clinical use of pharmacokinetics.
- Examples of the clinical use of pharmacokinetics are explored in the presentation.
