"Now in a newly revised edition, Comparative Pharmacokinetics presents the principles and techniques of pharmacokinetics in a detailed, yet practical and easily understandable manner. Coverage includes an overview of the basic physiologic processes of drug absorption and disposition and detailed explanation of pharmacokinetic means of measuring and predicting these processes by way of mechanistic and empirical models, as well as extensive coverage of dosage regimens and adjustments, interspecies extrapolation, experimental design, data collection and analysis, and residues and withdrawal times"--Provided by publisher.
