Pharmacokinetics (PK) studies how the body absorbs, distributes, metabolizes, and eliminates drugs, while pharmacodynamics (PD) examines the biochemical and physiological effects of drugs and their mechanisms of action. Together, PK/PD modeling is essential for determining optimal dosing regimens, predicting therapeutic outcomes, and minimizing toxicity. These principles form the foundation for drug development, clinical trials, and personalized therapy. Modern research focuses on integrating PK/PD data with pharmacogenomics to improve patient outcomes and address variability in drug response. Understanding PK and PD helps bridge laboratory findings with clinical applications for more precise and effective treatments.
