Abstract

Drug metabolism and pharmacokinetics (DMPK) are crucial aspects of pharmacology that determine the fate of drugs in the body, influencing their efficacy, safety, and duration of action. This article provides an in-depth exploration of DMPK, elucidating the processes of drug absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME), and their impact on drug action. Understanding the interplay between DMPK parameters and drug properties is essential for optimizing therapeutic outcomes and minimizing adverse effects.
