Hauptstudium Pharmazie

Abstract

A practical guide to the use of pharmacokinetic principles in clinical practice. Over 30 clinical cases with self-study questions and answers are presented throughout to bridge the gap between pharmacokinetic concepts and their practical application to individual patients.

Pharmacokinetics is the study of the process of drug absorption, distribution, metabolism and elimination. The aim of applying pharmacokinetic principles is to individualise the dose of drug, and optimise the outcome achieved in each patient. Its application reduces the chance of under-treatment, inadvertent poisoning and dose related adverse effects.

Over 30 clinical cases with self-study questions and answers are presented throughout the text to bridge the gap between pharmacokinetic concepts and their practical application to individual patients.

Contents include:
* Basic pharmacokinetics
* Therapeutic drug monitoring
* Pharmacokinetics in renal impairment
* Pharmacokinetics in liver dysfunction
* Pharmacokinetics in the elderly
* Aminoglycosides
* Digoxin
* Theophylline
* Lithium
* Anti convulsants
* Ciclosporin
* clinical case reports

Ein praktischer Leitfaden zur Anwendung pharmakokinetischer Wirkmechanismen in der klinischen Praxis. Über 30 klinische Fälle mit Fragen und Antworten zum Selbststudium werden ausführlich dargestellt, um die Lücke zwischen pharmakokinetischen Mechanismen und ihrem praktischen Nutzen zu schließen.
