Study Notes
Factors Affecting Bioavailability
- The route of administration is a crucial factor that affects the bioavailability of drugs.
Purpose of Drug Products
- Drug products are primarily designed forpatient convenience, compliance, and therapeutic efficacy.
Function of Drug Delivery Systems
- The primary function of drug delivery systems is to control the rate of drug release, sustain the duration of therapeutic action, and target the drug to the site of action.
Estimating Drug Absorption and Disposition
- The area under the curve (AUC) can be used to estimate drug absorption and disposition.
Dosing Adjustments for Special Groups
- Dosing adjustments are made for special groups of population (e.g., pediatric, geriatric, or obese patients) and drugs requiring monitoring of plasma concentration to ensure optimal therapeutic outcomes and minimize adverse effects.
