Abstract
Pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PD) modeling is employed to establish correlation of the concentration-time relationship (PK) with effect-concentration relationship (PD) in order to provide a better understanding of the time course of an effect (PK/PD) after administration of drug1,2,3,4.
