Pharmacokinetic Profiling

Meaning

The clinical science dedicated to characterizing the fate of a drug or hormone within the body, specifically measuring its absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) over time. This profiling provides essential data on how quickly a substance enters the circulation, where it travels, how it is chemically transformed, and how long its active form persists. Understanding an individual’s pharmacokinetic profile is crucial for establishing optimal dosing frequency and route of administration for any therapeutic agent.
