PK/PD modeling (Pharmacokinetic/Pharmacodynamic modeling)

PK/PD modeling is a scientific approach used to understand how a drug behaves in the body (pharmacokinetics) and how it affects the body (pharmacodynamics). It involves creating mathematical models that describe how the drug is absorbed, distributed, metabolized, and eliminated, as well as how it interacts with its target to produce a therapeutic effect. This helps researchers optimize dosing regimens, improve drug efficacy, and minimize side effects, ultimately guiding safer and more effective treatment strategies.
