SSS10: Pharmacokinetics - Keck Graduate Institute

The application of the concepts of biopharmaceutics and pharmacokinetics to the processes of absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion of drugs are discussed with the purpose of assessing drug dosage forms/regimens and improving the therapeutic management of patients. Additionally, the relationship between physiology, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and disease state is presented to help explain clinical variability to drug response.
