Scientific background
- Liberation – How is the API disintegrated (for solid oral forms (breaking down into smaller particles)), dispersed, or dissolved from the medication?
- Absorption – How is the API absorbed (through the skin, the intestine, the oral mucosa)?
- Distribution – How does the API spread through the organism?
- Metabolism – Is the API converted chemically inside the body, and into which substances. Are these active (as well)? Could they be toxic?
- Excretion – How is the API excreted (through the bile, urine, breath, skin)?

Medical Definition of Pharmacology
Pharmacology: The study of drugs, their sources, their nature, and their properties. Pharmacology is the study of the body's reaction to drugs. It emerged as a major area in American medicine largely due to the efforts of John Jacob Abel (1857- 1938) who stressed the importance of chemistry in medicine, did research on the endocrine glands, first isolated epinephrine (adrenaline), crystallized insulin (1926), and became the first pharmacology professor in the U.S.
