Study Notes
Pharmacokinetics
- Pharmacokinetics is the study of how the body absorbs, distributes, metabolizes, and eliminates drugs.
- This field analyzes the time course of drug concentration in the body.
- The logarithm of a negative number is undefined in pharmacokinetics and mathematics in general.
ADME
- ADME stands for Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism, and Excretion.
- These four processes describe the journey of a drug through the body.
Logarithm of 1
- The logarithm of 1 is 0 (log 1 = 0).
Key Terms
- Absorption refers to the process by which the drug enters the bloodstream from its site of administration.
- Distribution describes the process by which the drug travels from the bloodstream to different tissues and organs.
- Metabolism involves the breakdown of the drug into metabolites, which can be more easily excreted.
- Excretion is the process by which the drug and its metabolites are eliminated from the body.
