Pharmacokinetic Tailoring

Meaning

The clinical practice of customizing the dose, frequency, and specific route of administration of a therapeutic agent, such as a hormone or a nutraceutical compound, based on an individual’s unique absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) profile. This precision tailoring minimizes the risk of adverse side effects and significantly maximizes the therapeutic efficacy of the compound. It is a cornerstone of personalized medicine.
