Pharmacokinetics describes the time course of the blood and tissue concentration profile, while pharmacodynamics refers to the relationship between dose and the intended pharmacological response. The absorption phase relates to the entry of drug from the absorption site. This may be relatively slow, as from the gastrointestinal tract for oral absorption, or rapid if given intravenously. Clarke’s Analytical Forensic Toxicology Absorption Drug absorption is an important process in drug pharmacokinetics.
