However DM/PK (note the slash) is the term you are more likely to be hearing, and this refers to ‘Drug Metabolism and Pharmacokinetics’. These are two related terms in biochemistry and pharmaceuticals that allow for the test of pharmaceutical drugs and other agents.
Starting with drug metabolism, this is the process by which the body will break down and then convert active chemical substances (it is actually a stage of pharmacokinetics as we will address later). Essentially then this is what happens to the active ingredients in the medicine once they are inside the body.
This is related to our metabolism which is a term that describes the body’s ability to break down and use any substances. If you describe yourself as having a fast metabolism then this will mean that your body very quickly breaks down and utilizes the nutrients in foods.
