Introduction:
Pharmacokinetics is the study of the processes by which a drug is absorbed, distributed, metabolized, and eliminated from the body. It aims to understand the relationship between the dose of a drug and its concentration in the body over time. This information is used to optimize drug therapy by selecting the appropriate dose and route of administration and predicting the potential for drug-drug interactions.
