What Happens to Medicines in Our Bodies?

Pharmacokinetics simulation programs will show what can affect the fate of a medicine in our systems. We will also check whether improperly stored medicines can still be used.

Medicines are most often ingested. With release tests, we will illustrate what goes on in the stomach and small intestine, thereby showing what happens to a medicine in our organisms after we ingest it. Having been released from the digestive system, the active substance of a tablet is absorbed into the systemic bloodstream and transported to the site of action via blood. A proper concentration of the active substance in the blood is important for optimal treatment effectiveness and safety. 

 

 

The event is organized by Dr. Mojca Kerec Kos and colleagues from the Department of Biopharmacy and Pharmacokinetics
