and the use of this information to optimize the efficacy of the drug products.
Bioavailability is the rate (Kinetics) and extent (amount) of drug absorption. Any alteration in the drugs bioavailability is reflected in its pharmacological effects.
Pharmacokinetics is the study of time course of drug ADME and their relationship with its therapeutic and toxic effects of the drugs.
OR Pharmacokinetics is the kinetics of ADME or KADME
Pharmacokinetic processes

Physicochemical properties of drugs, and Design and manufacture of effective drug product for administration by a suitable means.
2. Pharmacokinetic Phase:
3. Pharmacodynamic Phase:
Concerned with Biochemical and Physiological effects of drugs, and its mechanism of action. Concentration of drug at the site of action and its relation to the magnitude of effects observed. Pharmacokinetics is the study of what the body does to the drug, whereas, Pharmacodynamics is the study of what the drug does to the body.
