DMPK (Drug Metabolism and Pharmacokinetics)

DMPK, or Drug Metabolism and Pharmacokinetics, studies how drugs are processed in the body. It looks at how drugs are absorbed (taken in), distributed (spread through tissues), metabolized (broken down), and eliminated (excreted). Understanding these processes helps determine the right dosage, how often to take a medication, and potential effects or side effects. DMPK ensures drugs are safe, effective, and reach their target in the body at proper levels, guiding drug development and personalized medicine.
