Effective drug therapy relies on the appropriate distribution of medications within the body. This book investigates the mechanisms governing drug distribution, including blood flow, tissue permeability, and the role of plasma proteins. It examines factors such as tissue binding, the blood-brain barrier, and organ-specific distribution patterns that influence drug localization and concentration. Aimed at pharmacologists, physiologists, and clinical researchers, the book offers a detailed analysis of the principles and factors that affect how drugs are distributed throughout the body.
Emma Henderson specializes in the mechanisms of drug distribution in the body, focusing on how drugs reach their target sites and interact with tissues. Emma has contributed to several studies on pharmacokinetics and drug transport processes. She serves as an editor for books on drug distribution and pharmacokinetics. Her research interests include improving drug delivery systems and understanding the physiological factors influencing drug distribution.
