PHARMACOKINETICS

PHARMACY 621
Course Description

Introduction to pharmacokinetics. Fundamental principles and specific physical models are discussed. Absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion are thoroughly described including applications to pharmacotherapy mostly through a one body compartment model. Biopharmaceuticals and small molecule drugs are discussed based on their specific pharmacokinetics. All pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics principles and concepts are further described in depth in terms of their clinical applications with an emphasis on the role of the pharmacy professional.
