By the end of the course, students should be able to avail themselves of pharmacokinetic calculations to solve pharmacotherapeutic problems. The subject comprises a physiological and mathematical explanation of how medicines and other substances alien to the body are dealt with by the body: absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion. On the basis of physiological and mathematic models, time dependent adjustments in the concentration of mother substances and metabolites are explained. Disease, age, genetics and interactions with other drugs are stressed as the cause of pharmacokinetic variation.
