    Study Notes

    Pharmacokinetics Overview

    • Pharmacokinetics is the study of the fate of drugs in the body, including their absorption, distribution, metabolism, and elimination (ADME).

    Focus of Pharmacokinetics

    • The main focus of pharmacokinetics is to understand how the body affects drugs, rather than how drugs affect the body.

    Exclusion from Pharmacokinetics

    • Pharmacodynamics, which is the study of the effects of drugs on the body, is NOT a part of pharmacokinetics.

    Scope of Pharmacokinetics

    • Pharmacokinetics studies the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and elimination of drugs in the body, including the processes by which they are absorbed, distributed, changed, and removed from the body.

    Example of Pharmacokinetics

    • The measurement of the time it takes for a drug to be absorbed and reach a peak concentration in the bloodstream is an example of pharmacokinetics.
