Understanding drug-drug interaction and pharmacogenomic changes in pharmacokinetics for metabolized drugs.

Here we characterize and summarize the pharmacokinetic changes for metabolized drugs when drug-drug interactions and pharmacogenomic variance are observed. Following multiple dosing to steady-state, oral systemic concentration-time curves appear to follow a one-compartment body model, with a shorter rate limiting half-life, often significantly shorter than the single dose terminal half-life. This simplified disposition model at steady-state allows comparisons of measurable parameters (i.
