Abstract

Pharmacokinetics is the study of absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion of a drug over a time course. Measurement of a drug in the body is usually limited to the blood or plasma. Pharmacokinetic data analysis consists of examining plasma concentration—time data and estimating pharmacokinetic parameters that describe drug disposition. Methods used for pharmacokinetic analysis include noncompartmental analysis or pharmacokinetic modeling. Noncompartmental analysis does not depend on fitting mathematical models to the drug disposition data. Compartmental analysis is the most often used pharmacokinetic modeling approach. This chapter discusses various aspects of compartmental modeling.
