TRANSCRIPT
“It is the study of factors influencing the rate (Kinetics) & amount of drug that reaches the systemic circulation and the use of this information to optimize the efficacy of the drug products”.
“Bioavailability is the rate (Kinetics) and extent
(amount) of drug absorption”.
Any alteration in the drug’s bioavailability is reflected in its pharmacological effects.
“Pharmacokinetics is the study of time course of drug ADME and their relationship with its therapeutic and toxic effects of the drugs”.
OR
“Pharmacokinetics is the ‘kinetics of ADME’ or KADME”
Pharmacokinetic processes
Four Phases of Drug administration and Therapy:
1. Pharmaceutical Phase
2. Pharmacokinetic Phase
3. Pharmacodynamic Phase
4. Therapeutic Phase.
1. Pharmaceutical Phase: Concerned with Physicochemical properties of drugs, and Design and manufacture of effective drug
product for administration by a suitable means.
2. Pharmacokinetic Phase: ADME of drugs and its relationship with -
Dose, Dosage form, Dosing frequency and Route of administration.
3. Pharmacodynamic Phase: Concerned with Biochemical and Physiological
effects of drugs, and its mechanism of action. Concentration of drug at the site of action and its
relation to the magnitude of effects observed.
In comparison – Pharmacokinetics is the study of what the body
does to the drug, whereas, Pharmacodynamics is the study of what the drug does to the body.
4. Therapeutic Phase: Concerned with the pharmacological effects of
the drug.

Anatomical & Functional differences between important regions of GIT
• Systemic distribution: 1. Plasma 3L2. Extra-cellular 15 L3. Intra-cellular 4L
• Binding to blood proteins
• Uneven distribution in body organs:1. Deposition in fat tissue2. Deposition in liver/kidneys3. Deposition in target organ
• Internal barriers-Blood brain barrier/Placenta
Drug Distribution

Amount of drug adsorption
Influenced by:• Release of the active
substance from the formulation
• Solubility of the active component
• Enzymatic degradation prior to adsorption
• Transport over the biological barrier
