Pharmacokinetic Analysis

Meaning

Pharmacokinetic Analysis is the quantitative study of how a therapeutic substance is absorbed, distributed, metabolized, and ultimately excreted by the body, collectively abbreviated as ADME. This clinical discipline provides essential data on drug concentration in the systemic circulation over time, which is crucial for determining optimal dosing regimens and predicting drug efficacy and potential toxicity. Understanding a drug’s pharmacokinetics is paramount in hormonal health to ensure stable, therapeutic hormone levels.
