The major processes involved in pharmacokinetics are absorption, distribution, and elimination. Appropriate application of pharmacokinetic data and a few simple formulas makes it possible to calculate loading and maintenance doses. Various diseases can modify the standard “average” pharmacokinetic parameters. Adjustment of the dosage for a specific patient can be calculated if that patient’s pharmacokinetic parameters are known.
