Pharmacokinetics vs Pharmacodynamics Explained | Intro to Pharmacology

Welcome to our Intro to Pharmacology series! In this video, we break down the key differences between pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics-two fundamental concepts in understanding how drugs work in the body.
Pharmacokinetics focuses on how the body affects a drug, covering the processes of absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME). It answers questions like "How does the drug move through the body?" and "How long does it stay active?"
Pharmacodynamics, on the other hand, looks at how the drug affects the body. It involves studying the drug's mechanisms of action, the relationship between drug concentration and effect, and how these effects change over time.
Whether you're a student, a healthcare professional, or just curious about how medications work, this video will give you a solid foundation in these essential pharmacological principles. Don’t forget to subscribe for more in-depth pharmacology content!
