~ Medicines


~ Movement

What is pharmacokinetics?

related to the movement of a drug through the body

What are the 4 stages of pharmacokinetics?

➢Absorption
➢Distribution
➢Metabolism (Biotransformation)
➢Excretion (Elimination)


(oral meds most complete route)

➢Movement of a drug from site of administration to blood
➢Process differs with route of administration


Absorption step 1

➢Most drugs must be absorbed, except:


•Intravenous or intra-arterial
•Some GI antinfectants
•Some radiologic contrast medias


what are the absorption routes?

➢Enteral (Oral and sublingual)
➢Parental (IV, IM, SubQ)
