How do Pharmacokinetics and Toxicodynamics Interact?
While pharmacokinetics focuses on the movement of toxicants, toxicodynamics deals with the biological effects and mechanisms of action of these substances. The interaction between pharmacokinetics and toxicodynamics is essential for understanding the overall toxicological profile of a substance. Pharmacokinetic parameters can influence the toxicodynamic response, including the onset, intensity, and duration of toxic effects.
