Pharmacokinetics, sometimes abbreviated as PK, is a branch of pharmacology dedicated to determine the fate of substances administered to a living organism. The substances of interest include any chemical xenobiotic such as: pharmaceutical drugs, pesticides, food additives, cosmetics, etc. How is pharmac...
afterload, reduce ventricular filling pressure, reduce systemic blood pressure, and increase cardiac output without significantly reducing heart rate. These properties, coupled with Sodium nitroprusside dihydrate's rapid onset of action to achieve target blood pressure, make the drug very effective in ...
