The four processes of pharmacokinetics are Absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion shortly called as ADME.
Answer: C
Explanation:
Pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics are two major processes involved in the action of the drug.
The former describes the effect of the drug on the body whereas the latter describes the effect of the body on the drug.
The pharmacokinetics occurs in 4 steps namely:
1. Absorption: It is the process through which the drug enters the blood stream from the site of administration.
2. Distribution: As soon as the drug enters the blood stream it gets distributed throughout the body by process called distribution.
3. Metabolism: The process through which the drug shapes itself for easy excretion through the kidney it is called as metabolism.
4. Excretion: Being the last phase of the process through which unused drugs is sent outside the body.
