Description: From basic principles to industrial and regulatory applications to clinical and research applications, this book provides a comprehensive review of all the subspecialties in the field. After an introduction of basic principles, the book is divided into sections that cover industrial and regulatory applications, clinical applications, and research applications. The following sections cover such topics as PK/PD approaches, clinical pharmacokinetic monitoring, population pharmacokinetics, linear systems approaches, and more. Fourteen authors, each an expert in his/her area of expertise, provide an extensive background into the subspeciality with emphasis on the section's theme.
Review Quotes: "well written, making many of the approaches understandable even if, like me, the reader is not mathematically gifted. Certainly, this section has stimulated my desire to learn more, and like the Clinical Application section, I will be referring to it regularly" - Peter Lawrence, AstraZeneca, UK, BTS Newsletter, Spring 2003 "The authors intend to provide a basic understanding and overview of numerous areas within pharmacokinetics...For anyone with a solid initial training in the field, however, this book should function quite well as a refresher on familiar areas and, more to the intended point, as an introduction to subspecialty areas." -Gregory Reed, PhD, University of Kansas Medical Center
