臨床藥代動力學是研究藥物在體內的分布規律，是藥物開發和合理使用的重要組成部分。藥物動力學原理的知識和應用可加速藥物開發，降低藥物的使用成本，減少不良反應和藥物相互作用的頻率。臨床藥代動力學是藥物開發科學家、臨床藥理學家、醫生和藥師在這一令人興奮和迅速變化的領域中不可缺少的信息來源。臨床藥代動力學促進臨床藥代動力學和藥效學的不斷發展，促進藥物治療水平的提高，促進臨床藥理學和治療學研究生教育的深入。

Clinical Pharmacokinetics, the study of drug disposition in the body, is an integral part of drug development and rational use. Knowledge and application of pharmacokinetic principles leads to accelerated drug development, cost effective drug use and a reduced frequency of adverse effects and drug interactions. Clinical Pharmacokinetics is an indispensable source of information for drug development scientists, clinical pharmacologists, physicians and pharmacists involved in this exciting and rapidly changing area. Clinical Pharmacokinetics promotes the continuing development of clinical pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics for the improvement of drug therapy, and for furthering postgraduate education in clinical pharmacology and therapeutics.
