About This Event
Pharmacokinetics, Plasma Concentrations & (Their) Clinical Relevance
Pharmacokinetics refers to the study of how drugs are processed by the body. These processes play an important role in mental health treatments, and can vary due to several factors, ultimately impacting treatment of mental health. In this webinar, we will first provide an overview of pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics. Then, we will discuss the differences between pharmacokinetics based on different medication formulations, including the differences between oral and long-acting injectable formulations. Finally, the importance of pharmacokinetics and plasma concentration monitoring will be discussed as it relates to the clinical setting.
