Overview

This lecture delves into the core principles of Pharmacokinetics (PK) and Pharmacodynamics (PD), examining how drugs are absorbed, distributed, metabolized, and excreted, and how they interact with their targets to produce effects. We’ll simplify complex concepts, making them accessible through real-world examples and case studies. Key topics include drug-receptor interactions, dose-response relationships, and signal transduction. We will also discuss the regulatory framework governing drug development, clinical trials, and post-marketing surveillance. This session is designed to enhance understanding and ultimately contributing to safer and more effective pharmaceutical practices
