Pharmacokinetic Studies

Meaning

Pharmacokinetic (PK) Studies describe the movement of a drug within the body over time, encompassing the processes of absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME). These studies are fundamental to understanding how quickly a hormonal agent reaches its target tissue, how long it remains active, and how it is ultimately cleared from the system. PK data is indispensable for designing effective and safe dosing schedules for all pharmaceutical products.
