Pharmacokinetics Journals

Pharmacokinetics is the branch of pharmacology which is concerned with the effect of drug on the body since it has been administered .The biggest challenge faced by organ transplant is rejection. Immunosuppressive therapy has been used successfully to increase patient survival by reducing incidence of graft rejection and/ or drug-related toxicity. Nonetheless, individual response of organ transplant recipients differs among immunosuppressive drugs using standardized dose regime. Among factors claimed to influence individual responses to drug therapy are disease state, kidney and liver functions, hormonal levels, pharmacokinetic drug-to-drug interactions, diet, life style, and genetic variation.related toxicity.
