What is the primary study focus of pharmacokinetics (PK)?

The mathematical characterization of the time course of drug absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME).

How does pharmacodynamics (PD) differ from pharmacokinetics?

PD describes what the drug does to the body (mechanisms and effects), whereas PK describes what the body does to the drug.

What four processes constitute the 'ADME' concept in drug disposition?

Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism, and Excretion.

The range of drug doses between the minimum effective concentration (MEC) and the minimum toxic concentration (MTC) is known as the {{Therapeutic Window}}.

Why is a higher Therapeutic Index (TI) desirable for drug safety?

It indicates a larger safety margin between the effective dose and the toxic dose.
