Pharmacokinetic modeling
Pharmacokinetic modeling involves studying how a drug moves through the body over time. It examines processes like absorption (how the drug enters the blood), distribution (how it spreads to tissues), metabolism (how the body breaks it down), and excretion (how it leaves the body). These models help predict drug levels at different times, optimize dosing schedules, and improve treatment safety and effectiveness. Essentially, it’s a way to understand and anticipate how a medication behaves in the body, enabling personalized and more effective medical care.
