Pellet Pharmacokinetics

Meaning

Pellet Pharmacokinetics refers to the quantitative study of the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) of therapeutic agents, typically bioidentical hormones, that are delivered via subcutaneous implantable pellets. This specific delivery method is characterized by a slow, sustained, and relatively steady release profile over several months, offering a distinct pharmacokinetic advantage over daily oral or transdermal preparations. Understanding these kinetics is essential for precise dosing and maintaining stable, physiological hormone levels.
