Multiple choice
01. Pharmacokinetics is:
A) the study of biological and therapeutic effects of drugs
B) the study of absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion of drugs ✅
C) the study of mechanisms of drug action
D) the study of methods of new drug development
Ans: b
Feedback: pharmacokinetics describes how the body affects a drug through the
processes of absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (adme). It's a key aspect
of understanding how a drug travels through the body and influences dosing and
effectiveness.
02. What does “pharmacokinetics” include?
A) complications of drug therapy
B) drug biotransformation in the organism ✅
C) influence of drugs on metabolism processes
D) influence of drugs on genes
Ans: b
Feedback: biotransformation (metabolism) is a core element of pharmacokinetics. It
involves the chemical modification of the drug by the body, usually by liver enzymes.
03. What does “pharmacokinetics” include?
A) pharmacological effects of drugs
B) unwanted effects of drugs
