Relevance of pharmacokinetics to prescribing in psychiatry

H Ashton et al. Br J Hosp Med. 1994 Jun.

Abstract

Pharmacokinetic characteristics of psychotropic drugs, including their absorption, distribution, metabolism and elimination, vary greatly between drugs and between individual patients. Consideration of these factors is necessary for the rational prescribing of drugs in psychiatry and can prevent potentially dangerous drug interactions.
