Description
Clinical Pharmacokinetics is a focused, application-driven course designed for pharmacy students, pharmacists, and pharmacy technicians who want to deepen their understanding of how drugs behave in the body. The course will cover essential pharmacokinetic principles and equip learners with the skills to optimise drug therapy through individualised dosing and therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM).The course will cover concepts such as absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME); the course progresses to advanced topics including volume of distribution (Vd), clearance (Cl), half-life (t½), bioavailability (F), area under the curve (AUC), and steady-state concentration (Css). Learners will also explore dosing interval (τ), accumulation, non-linear kinetics, concentration- versus time-dependent killing, and the design of dosage regimens.
Special attention will be given to pharmacokinetic variability, renal and hepatic function, dose adjustment in special populations, and other special pharmacokinetic topics.
