pharmacokinetic modelling

Pharmacokinetic modeling is a way scientists predict how a drug moves through the body over time. It involves studying how the drug is absorbed (taken into the bloodstream), distributed (spread to tissues), metabolized (broken down), and eliminated (excreted). By creating mathematical models, researchers can estimate the concentration of the drug at different times, helping to determine the right dosage and timing for effective treatment. This modeling helps optimize drug therapy, ensuring it works safely and effectively for each patient.
