Pharmacokinetics involves four main processes. Absorption is the process of a drug entering the bloodstream. Distribution is the movement of the drug throughout the body. Excretion is the removal of the drug from the body. Metabolism is the process where the body chemically changes (biotransforms) the drug, often converting active forms of the medication into harmless metabolites.
