This document discusses the basic principles of pharmacology, including pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics. It covers topics such as absorption, distribution, metabolism, elimination, receptor theory, dose response curves, and therapeutic indices. Specifically, it describes how the body processes drugs through absorption in the gastrointestinal tract, distribution to tissues, metabolism by the liver and kidneys, and elimination from the body. It also explains how drugs act on receptors in the body to produce effects and the relationship between drug concentrations and responses.
