    Pharmacokinetics is an important process for the medical assistant to understand. It is the study of how the body reacts to medications from administration through excretion. Pharmacokinetics comprises four phases: absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion. When choosing a drug, the provider must consider the health or disease of the organs responsible for each phase (Grogan & Preuss, 2022).
