Pharmacokinetics
How the body handles a substance over time
Pharmacokinetics is the study of what the body does to a substance after it enters the system. It covers absorption into the blood, distribution to tissues, chemical changes, and removal from the body. Concepts such as half-life and peak concentration come from pharmacokinetic research.
