Basic Pharmacokinetics

About this book

This book introduces basic pharmacokinetic concepts to beginner learners to help them understand the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion of drugs.

After a basic introduction to pharmacokinetics and its related fields, the book provides a clear introduction to quantitative pharmacokinetic relations and the interplay between pharmacokinetic parameters after different routes of drug administration. Emphasizing the application and importance of pharmacokinetic concepts in clinical practice throughout, the book features:

  • A clear, simple, and concise style with the use of graphs and simulations to aid learning.
  • Bullet point summaries of each concept to demonstrate applications in clinical practice.
  • Practice problems and solved examples to help the reader understand the best approach for calculating pharmacokinetic parameters.
  • A glossary of key words and acronyms.

This book is an essential read for undergraduate and graduate pharmacokinetic students in pharmacy, pharmacology, and pharmaceutical science programs worldwide.

Accompanying the book is a website with self-instructional tutorials and pharmacokinetic simulations, allowing visualization of concepts for enhanced comprehension. This learning tool received an award from the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy for innovation in teaching, making it a valuable supplement to this textbook.
