  2. Distribution: transport of a drug to site of action
    ~fast: heart/ liver/ kidney/ brain
    ~slower: muscle/ skin and fat
  3. Metabolism: the biochemical alteration of a drug into any of the following in the liver mostly, could be muscle, kidney, lungs or mucosa
    ~inactive
    ~ more soluble
    ~more potent
    ~less active
  4. Excretion: elimination of the drug from the body, mostly the kidneys
