Pharmacokinetics the movement of drugs and their metabolites
through the body from absorption to excretion--
what the body does to the drug
4 pharmacokinetic processes drug absorption, drug distribution, drug
metabolism, drug excretion
drug absorption entrance of a drug into the bloodstream from its
site of administration
drug distribution passage of a drug from the blood to the tissues
and cells of the body
drug metabolism also known as bioremediation. the enzymatic
alteration of drug structure.
drug excretion The process by which a drug and/or its waste
products are eliminated from the body. drugs can
be excreted via urine, sweat, saliva, expired air,
breast milk
Overall action of pharmacokinetics the processes act in concert to determine the
concentration of a drug at its sites of action
(receptor sites)
