In this course, we review some basics in drug pharmacocinetic and pharmacodynamics. The body composition-related pharmacokinetic changes are seldom considered in the provision of drug-related services in patients with heart and liver failure, or in pregnancy or in patients with cachexia. So we discuss in detail about these special conditions in this course.
