Introduction to Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics: The Quantitative Basis of Drug Therapy

Covers fundamental concepts like drug absorption, distribution, metabolism, and elimination (pharmacokinetics), as well as the relationship between drug exposure and the resulting therapeutic or adverse responses (pharmacodynamics). Key topics include the principles governing drug movement across membranes, the design of dosage regimens (including infusion and multiple-dose protocols), the importance of the therapeutic window, and sources of variability in patient response due to factors like age, disease, and genetics. The excerpts frequently use mathematical models and graphical representations to illustrate kinetic processes, such as clearance, half-life, and accumulation.You can listen and download our episodes for free on more than 10 different platforms:https://linktr.ee/pharmacy_simpleProduced by:https://www.podcaistudio.com/
