Definition
What does ADME mean?
- ADME
- ADME is an abbreviation in pharmacokinetics and pharmacology for "absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion", and describes the disposition of a pharmaceutical compound within an organism.

Sometimes, liberation and/or toxicity are also considered, yielding LADME, ADMET, or LADMET.
