Pharmacodynamics and Pharmacokinetics

The study of the biochemical, physiologic, and molecular effects of medications on the body, including receptor binding (including receptor sensitivity), post-receptor effects, and chemical interactions, is known as pharmacodynamics. Animals, microbes, and mixtures of species can all show signs of the outcomes. Pharmacodynamics is a term used to explain what a medicine does to the body. Pharmacodynamics is a pharmacology branch.

Pharmacokinetics, abbreviated as PK, is a discipline of pharmacology concerned with determining the fate of drugs given to a living organism. It is described as the study of a drug's absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion over time. The application of pharmacokinetic concepts to the safe and effective therapeutic administration of medications in a private patient is known as clinical pharmacokinetics. It can be put to use.
