PK/PD models

PK/PD (Pharmacokinetic/Pharmacodynamic) modeling (alternatively abbreviated as PKPD[1] or PK-PD[2] modeling) is a technique that combines the two classical pharmacologic disciplines of pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics.[3] It integrates a pharmacokinetic and a pharmacodynamic model component into one set of mathematical expressions that allows the description of the time course of effect intensity in response to administration of a drug dose.

There are a variety of PK/PD modeling approaches, but there are only five major classes:[4]
