    Exclamation Difference between practical and clinical pharmacokinetics

    Can anyone have right interpretation of differences between practical and clinical pharmacokinetics on the basis of known variables, such as dose and time?

    Re: Difference between practical and clinical pharmacokinetics

    IMHO they can't be compared side by side. Practical PK is the application of fundamental PK to real patients (use the known data to come up with adequate dose regimen). Clinical PK involves blood sampling for drug monitoring and usually concerns the few drugs with narrow therapeutic index.

    Just my opinion.
