The role of pharmacokinetics together with veterinary pharmacodynamics will inhibit the occurrence of AMR (Antimicrobial resistance) by ensuring that microbes will be killed and preventing the formation of resistant strains. In terms of food safety, the role of veterinary pharmacokinetics is to provide data related to the rate of elimination, drug half-life, withdrawal time (drug stop time), and determine the maximum residue limit of drugs used for animal health so that they are safe for consumption.
