Abstract

This presentation is intended to depart from the process involved in developing pharmacokinetic data and focus upon the potential application. There are five (5) areas in which the application of pharmacokinetics can be of benefit to the practitioner. These are:
A- Individualized dosage regimens
B-Estimating dosages for drugs.not approved in various food animals
C- Economic assessment of multiple drug choices
O- Critical tissue distribution estimates
E - Estimating or projecting drug withdrawal times.
