First published in 1976, this handbook is a consolidation of principles and techniques for practitioners, researchers and students involved in the various applications of pharmacokinetics. Twenty-six of the previous edition's 37 chapters have been revised.

Pharmacokinetic data profiles for an additional 128 drugs have been added to the appendix, which now provides accessible information on 426 drugs.
