Pharmacokinetic Introduction
Objectives:
=> To introduce the curriculum for this course.
A young child given an im injection might ask "How will that 'ouch' get from
there to my sore throat"? The answer to this question is the basis of
pharmacokinetics.
That is, how drugs move around the body and how quickly this
movement occurs. During this semester many of the processes which control the
absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion of drugs will be discussed.
