DESCRIPTION
Basic Clinical Pharmacokinetics was designed
to simplify pharmacokinetics to help pharmacy
students in clinical settings and busy practitioners
understand and visualize basic principles. An easy-
to-read, case-study format has made the text a
favorite among students, clinical professors, and
practitioners.
Part I provides a basic review of pharmacokinetic
principles, with extensive explanations, graphic
illustrations, and detailed algorithms.
Part II explains the clinical applications of these
principles to problems commonly encountered in
the practice setting with specific drugs.
This edition includes the latest information on the
clinical use of serum drug concentrations. New case
studies and examples demonstrate the application
of pharmacokinetics in today’s clinical practice.
