Seminar on
Subject: Clinical pharmacokinetics & TDM
Pharmacokinetics (PK) and Pharmacodynamics (PD) are two fundamental aspects of drug therapy that
describe how drugs interact with the body and how the body responds to drugs. Understanding the
correlation between PK and PD is crucial for optimizing drug therapy, ensuring efficacy, and
minimizing toxicity.
 Pharmacokinetics (PK):
Pharmacokinetics involves the study of how the body absorbs, distributes, metabolizes, and excretes a
drug. The key processes include:
 Absorption: How the drug enters the bloodstream.
 Distribution: How the drug spreads throughout the body.
 Metabolism: How the drug is chemically altered, usually in the liver.
 Excretion: How the drug and its metabolites are eliminated from the body, typically via the kidneys.
 Pharmacodynamics (PD):
Pharmacodynamics focuses on the biological and physiological effects of drugs on the body and the
mechanisms of their action. It includes:
 Receptor Binding: How the drug interacts with cellular receptors.
 Post-Receptor Effects: The biochemical and physiological changes that occur after the drug binds to
its receptor.
 Dose-Response Relationship: The relationship between the drug dose and the magnitude of its effect.
PK/PD Correlation:
The correlation between PK and PD is essential for understanding the overall effect of a drug. This
relationship helps in predicting the drug’s efficacy and safety profile. Here are some key aspects:
 Dose-Response Relationship:
 Definition: The relationship between the drug dose and the pharmacological response.
 Importance: Helps in determining the optimal dose that provides the maximum therapeutic effect
with minimal side effects.
 Example: The dose-response curve of morphine shows increasing pain relief with higher doses until a
plateau is reached.
 Therapeutic Window:
 Definition: The range of drug concentrations in the blood that provides therapeutic effects without
causing toxicity.
 Importance: Ensures that drug levels remain within this window to maximize efficacy and minimize
adverse effects.
 Example: The therapeutic window of digoxin is narrow, requiring careful monitoring to avoid
toxicity.
 Time-Action Profile:
 Definition: The relationship between the time course of drug concentrations and the time course of
pharmacological effects.
 Importance: Helps in designing dosing regimens that maintain drug concentrations within the
therapeutic window over time.
 Example: The time-action profile of insulin determines the timing of doses to control blood glucose
levels throughout the day.
 Pharmacokinetic/Pharmacodynamics (PK/PD) Models:
 Definition: Mathematical models that describe the relationship between drug concentrations (PK)
and their effects (PD).
 Importance: These models are used to predict the outcomes of different dosing regimens and to
individualize therapy based on patient-specific factors.
 Example: PK/PD models for antibiotics help determine the optimal dosing schedule to achieve
effective bacterial killing while minimizing resistance.
Applications in Drug Therapy
 Optimizing Dosage Regimens:
 Example: Adjusting the dosing frequency and amount to maintain drug levels within the therapeutic
window.
 Benefit: Enhances therapeutic efficacy and reduces the risk of toxicity.
 Application: Titrating the dose of warfarin based on INR levels to maintain anticoagulation without
causing bleeding.
 Individualizing Therapy:
 Example: Tailoring drug therapy based on patient-specific factors such as age, weight, renal and
hepatic function.
 Benefit: Improves patient outcomes by considering individual variability in drug response.
 Application: Adjusting the dose of chemotherapy drugs based on renal function to avoid toxicity.
 Managing Drug Interactions:
 Example: Adjusting doses when co-administering drugs that may alter the pharmacokinetics or
pharmacodynamics of the primary drug.
 Benefit: Prevents adverse interactions and maintains therapeutic efficacy.
 Application: Modifying the dose of antiepileptics when starting or stopping enzyme-inducing
drugs.
 Predicting Therapeutic Outcomes:
 Example: Using PK/PD models to simulate different dosing scenarios and predict their effects.
 Benefit: Helps in making informed decisions about drug therapy and in designing clinical trials.
 Application: Predicting the efficacy of new antibiotics in treating resistant infections based on
PK/PD modeling.
Conclusion:
Understanding the correlation between pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics is crucial for
optimizing drug therapy. It helps in designing effective dosing regimens, individualizing treatment,
managing drug interactions, and predicting therapeutic outcomes. By integrating PK and PD
principles, healthcare providers can ensure that patients receive the most effective and safe drug
therapies.
