- - - - Movement of drugs throughout the body.
      - Influenced by blood flow, tissue permeability, and protein binding.
    - - Chemical alteration of drugs in the liver.
      - Converts drugs into more water-soluble forms for excretion.
    - - Elimination of drugs from the body, mainly through kidneys (urine) or liver (bile).
      - Renal clearance is a significant factor.
- - - - Drug Receptors
        
        Drugs interact with specific receptors on cells.
        
        Receptor binding leads to a biological response
    - - Agonists mimic the body's natural regulatory molecules.
      - Antagonists block or reduce the effect of agonists
    - - The relationship between drug dosage and its effects.
      - Includes the therapeutic range, minimum effective dose, and maximum efficacy.
- - - - Categorizes drugs based on their clinical use.
      - Examples: Antibiotics, analgesics, antihypertensives.
    - - Groups drugs based on their mechanism of action
      - Examples: Beta-blockers, diuretics, anticoagulants.
    - - Treatment of diseases and medical conditions.
      - Prevention of diseases or symptoms.
    - - Tailoring drug therapy to individual patient characteristics.
      - Consideration of factors like age, weight, genetics, and comorbidities.
- - - - Antibiotics
