What is the Role of Toxicokinetics and Toxicodynamics?
Toxicokinetics involves the study of how a drug is absorbed, distributed, metabolized, and excreted in the body. It helps in understanding the concentration of the drug at the site of action and its duration of exposure. Toxicodynamics, on the other hand, focuses on the biological effects of the drug and the mechanisms through which these effects are produced. Together, these fields help in predicting and mitigating drug toxicity.
