Question

Dose dependent pharmacokinetics is also known as ……….

• A. Non linear pharmacokinetics
• B. Linear pharmacokinetics
• C. Pseudo order kinetics
• D. Third order kinetics

Hint:

Non-linear = dose-dependent → saturation of metabolic or transport systems.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Non-linear pharmacokinetics refers to drug kinetics where parameters like clearance or half-life change with dose due to saturation of processes such as metabolism or transport. This results in disproportionate changes in drug concentration with increasing dose.
