Pharmacokinetics is the study of the time course of drug absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion. It also concerns the relationship of these processes to the intensity and time course of pharmacologic (therapeutic and toxicologic) effects of drugs and chemicals. Pharmacokinetics is a quantitative study that requires a preexisting competence in mathematics at least through calculus. It is also a biologic study and can be very useful to the biomedical scientist.

Friends , here is the link of a very good book of pharmacokinetics by Gibaldi.

Pharmacokinetic by Milo Gibaldi  and Donald Perrier

The most commonly employed approach to the pharmacokinetic characterization of a drug is to represent the body as a system of compartments, even though these compartments usually have no physiologic or anatomic reality, and to assume that the rate of transfer between compartments and the rate of drug elimination from compartments follow first-order or linear kinetics.
