Kinetic processes related to the fate of a drug in the body, where the rate of change of drug concentration is dependent upon the drug concentration, is known as:

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

First-order kinetics means the rate of change of drug concentration is dependent upon one factor: the concentration of drug present.In this situation, drug is said to be eliminated in a manner that can be described by first-order kinetics.In first-order kinetics, a constant proportion of drug is eliminated per unit time.
