Description
Basic Pharmacokinetics provides an understanding of the principles of pharmacokinetics and biopharmaceutics. The book addresses clearly and concisely how these principles can be applied to achieve successful drug therapy, using visual representations to aid the understanding of difficult concepts. The applications of principles and equations are illustrated with related problem sets and problem solving exercises.
The third edition has been fully revised and updated. It features the use of profiles (sketches of relationships among pharmacokinetic variables and parameters), a review of the mathematical processes required to practice pharmacokinetics and clear learning objectives at the start of each chapter.
- The new edition also includes new chapters on:
- pharmacodynamic dosing of antibiotics
- an introduction to Bayesian pharmacokinetics
- pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics in the drug discovery and development processes
Basic Pharmacokinetics is an invaluable textbook for students.
