Pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics from "summary" of Chemistry for Pharmacy Students by Lutfun Nahar,Professor Satyajit D. Sarker
Pharmacokinetics involves the study of how a drug is absorbed, distributed, metabolized, and excreted by the body. It encompasses the processes that a drug undergoes in the body over a period of time, including the rate and extent of drug absorption, distribution to tissues, metabolism in the body, and elimination from the body. Pharmacokinetics is crucial in determining the dosage regimen of a drug, as it helps in understanding how a drug moves through the body and how its concentration changes over time. On the other hand, pharmacodynamics is the study of the biochemical and physiological effects of drugs on the body. It involves understanding how a drug interacts with its target receptor or enzyme to produce a therapeutic effect. Pharmacodynamics helps in determining the potency and efficacy of a drug, as well as its mechanism of action in the body. By studying pharmacodynamics, researchers can gain insights into how drugs produce their effec...
