ADME-Tox

Adme-tox is a process that helps scientists understand how medicine works in the body. It stands for "Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism, Excretion, and Toxicity". It's like an experiment that scientists do when they want to find out how a medicine will be used by people. They use the Adme-tox process to figure out how the medicine will move around the body, how it will be changed in the body, and how it will be removed from the body. They also look at whether or not the medicine will be toxic to the body. This helps them know if the medicine can be used safely by people.
