• Dose-response relationships for a drug (i.e. therapeutic ranges, toxicity, drug-drug interactions)
• The effect a body has on the drug (i.e. biotransformation or metabolism)
• The half-life of a drug
• The distribution and binding site(s) for drugs (i.e. mu-opioid receptor sites)
• The absorption and excretion profiles for a drug
