AB In  order  to  understand  and  control  the  therapeutic  action  of  drugs  in  the  human  body,  one  must  know  how  much  drug  will  reach  the  site(s)  of  drug  action  and  when  this  will  occur.  The  absorption,  distribution,  metabolism  (biotransformation),  and  elimination  of  drugs  are  the  processes  of  pharmacokinetics  (Figure  2–1).  Understanding  and  employing  pharmacokinetic  principles  can  increase  the  probability  of  therapeutic  success  and  reduce  the  occurrence  of  adverse  drug  effects  in  the  body.
