Course objectives
Aims: Pharmacokinetics course deals with the fundamental principles of absorption, distribution, metabolism, and the elimination of drugs by the human body in time as well as clinical application, including case studies of commonly dosed drugs. Basic aim of education in Pharmacokinetics for students of pharmacy is getting deep knowledge in processes, which take place in relation to time course of drug after administration.
Understanding of pharmacokinetics patterns is important for insight into rational drug dosage in clinical practise. Application of the pharmacokinetic theory to clinical problems involved in optimizing and monitoring drug use in patients is important part of pharmacists work.
