Absorption: This stage involves the process of the drug being absorbed into the bloodstream. The main organ where absorption occurs is the gastrointestinal tract. Distribution: In this stage, the drug is transported throughout the body via the bloodstream. The action mainly occurs in the circulatory system. Metabolism: Metabolism refers to the process of the drug being broken down and transformed into different substances. The primary organ responsible for metabolism is the liver. Excretion: This stage involves the elimination of the drug and its metabolites from the body. The main organ involved in excretion is the kidneys.
