Kinetic Order of Drugs | Pharmacokinetics

Kinetic 'order' is a term which simply means that the various processes are ranked in order of increasing complexity. The important kinetic processes which are concerned are those governing the entry of the drug into the blood, its distribution in body tissues, and its elimination from the blood by metabolism and excretion. Such processes are generally of 'zero-order' or 'first-order'. [...]
