The last Pharmacokinetics episode had finally been …Excreted!
 
 This episode  covers the ‘drug out’ bit of pharmacokinetics, including things such as:
 
 -What is clearance?
 -how to calculate half life
 and
 -doesn’t everything leave through the kidneys anyway? (That is sort of true, also shut up).
 
 Check out our prep notes (including for this episode) here.
