Case Studies on Pharmacokinetics and Drug Safety: Understanding the Fate of Drugs in the Body

Dr. Smithi Karia H*

Pharmacokinetics, a branch of pharmacology, focuses on studying how drugs are absorbed, distributed,
metabolized, and eliminated in the body. It plays a fundamental role in understanding the fate of drugs and their
impact on patient safety. This abstract provides an overview of pharmacokinetics and its significance in ensuring the
safe and effective use of medications. Pharmacokinetics involves the investigation of drug absorption, distribution,
metabolism, and elimination processes. The absorption phase examines how drugs enter the bloodstream from the
site of administration, influenced by factors such as route, formulation, and physicochemical properties. Distribution
refers to the movement of drugs throughout the body, guided by factors including blood flow, tissue permeability, and
protein binding.
