Take Home Message: Pharmacokinetics can be discussed in terms of four elements: ADME.

Together, these elements describe the action of our body upon a drug (pharmacokinetics).

In this video, we also learned the definition of (C_{\text{max}}) and AUC are. Both of these are important for drug dosing. Later, when we look at dosing a patient, we will look at calculating doses to reach specific (C_{\text{max}}) and AUCs, and why these are important.
