title: [Significance of pharmacokinetic parameters for effective drug therapy in house and domestic animals].
abstract: Aspects of pharmacokinetics (absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion) and pharmacokinetic parameters (half-life time, elimination time, volume of distribution and bioavailability) are discussed. Treatment with food or drinking water demands additionally considerations to obtain a suitable drug level in the organism. Age- and sickness-dependent variations cause important changes of pharmacokinetic parameters. For an efficacious therapy, pharmacokinetic considerations are essential.
