Pharmacokinetics
the |branch |of |pharmacology |that |concerns |the |absorption, |distribution, |biotransformation, |
and |excretion |of |drugs
ADME
The |four |basic |processes |of |Pharmacokinetics:
Absorption, |Distribution, |Metabolism, |Excretion/Elimination
Bioavailability |of |a |drug
How |much |of |the |drug |that |is |administered |actually |reaches |its |target
Time |Course |of |Drug |Responses
The |amount |of |time |required |for |the |rise |and |fall |of |the |drug's |concentration |at |the |target |site

Processes |and |mechanisms |by |which |drugs |pass |from |the |external |world |into |the |
bloodstream.

Parenteral |Routes |- |Injection, |Inhalation, |Absorption |through |Skin, |Absorption |through |Mucous
|Membranes
Passive |Diffusion
Passing |from |an |area |of |high |concentration |into |an |area |of |lower |concentration
