Basic Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics

Updated with new chapters and topics, this book provides a comprehensive description of all essential topics in contemporary pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics. It also features interactive computer simulations for students to experiment and observe PK/PD models in action. Presents the essentials of pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics in a clear and progressive manner Helps students better appreciate important concepts and gain a greater understanding of the mechanism of action of drugs by reinforcing practical applications in both the book and the computer modules Features interactive computer simulations, available online through a companion website at: https://web.uri.edu/pharmacy/research/rosenbaum/sims/ Adds new chapters on physiologically based pharmacokinetic models, predicting drug-drug interactions, and pharmacogenetics while also strengthening original chapters to better prepare students for more advanced applications Reviews of the 1st edition: This is an ideal textbook for those starting out and also for use as a reference book .&quote; (International Society for the Study of Xenobiotics) and I could recommend Rosenbaum s book for pharmacology students because it is written from a perspective of drug action . . . Overall, this is a well-written introduction to PK/PD . (British Toxicology Society Newsletter)
