LADME

Liberation Absorption Distribution Metabolism Excretion

Drug receptors

Specific sites where drugs form chemical bonds

Pharmacodynamics

Study of interactions between drugs and their receptors and the series of events that result in a pharmacologic response

Enteral

Via the gastrointestinal tract by the oral, rectal, or nasogastric routes
