Exogenfasen

Exogenfasen refers to the phases of a drug's absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion, collectively known as pharmacokinetics. These processes describe how a living organism affects a drug. Absorption is the process by which a drug enters the bloodstream. Distribution describes how the drug spreads throughout the body's tissues. Metabolism, also known as biotransformation, is how the body chemically alters the drug, often to make it easier to eliminate. Excretion is the removal of the drug and its metabolites from the body, primarily through urine or feces. Understanding exogenfasen is crucial in pharmacology and medicine for determining appropriate drug dosages, dosing frequencies, and potential drug interactions, ultimately ensuring therapeutic efficacy and patient safety. Factors such as age, disease state, and other medications can significantly influence these pharmacokinetic processes.
