Abstract

A discussion of the bases of physiological pharmacokinetics is followed by a brief review of the fundamental mass balance equations of the models. Some examples are outlined, together with a listing of published reviews which give many more references and detailed examples. Finally, some thoughts on future research directions are presented.
