Pharmacokinetics

Pharmacokinetics is the study of the dynamic motions of foreign substances, sometimes known as xenobiotics, as they transit through the body. It involves the kinetics of absorption, distribution, biotransformation/metabolism, and excretion (ADME). It's basically how the body reacts to xenobiotics. We can better comprehend, analyse, and even foresee the kind and extent of the biological effects of xenobiotics thanks to the field of pharmacokinetics, which uses mathematical equations to represent the time course of ADME of xenobiotics in the body. Pharmacokinetics is one way used to describe the fate of xenobiotics in the body, and it views the body as one or more homogeneous compartments based on either mathematical fitting or physiological properties.
