Clinical pharmacokinetics (arising from the clinical use of population pharmacokinetics) is the direct application to a therapeutic situation of knowledge regarding a drug's pharmacokinetics and the characteristics of a population that a patient belongs to (or can be ascribed to).
Clinical Pharmacokinetics is a peer-reviewed medical journal published by Adis International (Springer Nature) that covers topics related to pharmacokinetics.According to the Journal Citation Reports, the journal has a 2023 Impact Factor™ of 4.6 ranked 77 of 277 journals in the Pharmacology & Pharmacy category [Clarivate Analytics]; 2023 CiteScore™ of 8.8 ranked 81 of 272 journals in the ...
The absorption rate constant K a is a value used in pharmacokinetics to describe the rate at which a drug enters into the system. It is expressed in units of time −1. [1] The K a is related to the absorption half-life (t 1/2a) per the following equation: K a = ln(2) / t 1/2a. [1] K a values can typically only be found in research articles. [2]
The use of trapezoidal rule in AUC calculation was known in literature by no later than 1975, in J.G. Wagner's Fundamentals of Clinical Pharmacokinetics. A 1977 article compares the "classical" trapezoidal method to a number of methods that take into account the typical shape of the concentration plot, caused by first-order kinetics. [8]
Rowland became a member of the joint Pharmacy-Medicine NIGMS funded program in Clinical Pharmacology, and moved his research from a prevailing descriptive approach to a more mechanistic, physiologically-based one, [6] including the clearance concept [7] [8] that helped lay the foundations of modern pharmacokinetics.
Species: e.g., transpositions from rodents to human, prior to giving a drug for the first time to subjects of a clinical trial, or when experiments on humans are deemed unethical, such as when the compound is toxic without therapeutic benefit; Individuals: e.g., from males to females, from adults to children, from non-pregnant women to pregnant

In pharmacokinetics, a maintenance dose is the maintenance rate [mg/h] of drug administration equal to the rate of elimination at steady state. This is not to be confused with dose regimen, which is a type of drug therapy in which the dose [mg] of a drug is given at a regular dosing interval on a repetitive basis.
