Abstract
It is generally appreciated that under different conditions a drug may produce diverse effects, ranging from none to a desirable effect or, in other cases, an undesirable, toxic effect. Physicians must learn how to individualize the drug dosage under different conditions to ensure effective and safe therapy.
This requires knowing pharmacokinetics-examining the movement of a drug over time through the body-and pharmacodynamics-relating drug concentration to drug effect.
