assess therapeutic compliance
assess efficacy
elucidate cause of drug-induced toxicity

30
Q

Which is false?
A.absorption rate constant of a drug is usually less than elimination rate constant
B.displacement of a drug from plasma protein-binding sites never causes clinical toxicity
C.Liver is the principal organ for drug metab
