Pharmacokinetics vs Pharmacodynamics — The Only Explanation You’ll Ever Need (Clinician’s Guide).

Описание: Do you actually understand pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics — or are you just memorising definitions?
In this video, I break PK and PD down clearly, visually, and clinically, so you can finally see how drugs really work in the body… and how the body changes those drugs in different patients.
Whether you’re a nursing student, medical student, junior doctor, pharmacist, or clinical educator — this is the PK/PD explanation you wish you had the first time.

🧠 What You’ll Learn (Fast + Clearly)
✔ The difference between pharmacokinetics (what the body does to the drug)
✔ The difference between pharmacodynamics (what the drug does to the body)
✔ How PK/PD affects drug dosing in real patients
✔ Why the same drug behaves differently in:
• Renal failure
• Elderly patients
• Liver disease
• Pregnancy
✔ How PK/PD errors lead to adverse events & medication mistakes
✔ The simple framework clinicians use to dose safely
I use a whiteboard‑style walkthrough to make the concepts easy, practical, and unforgettable.

🩺 Why This Matters at the Bedside
PK/PD is not “exam knowledge.”
It’s patient safety knowledge.
Understanding these concepts helps you:
✨ Prevent overdoses and toxicity
✨ Adjust doses safely
✨ Anticipate adverse effects
✨ Choose better drugs for complex patients
✨ Sound confident in OSCEs, vivas, and ward rounds
If you work with medications, this is non‑negotiable.
