Biopharmaceutics & Pharmacokinetics Course 2023-2024 Quiz

Biopharmaceutics is the study of how physicochemical properties of drugs affect drug absorption rate.

Biopharmaceutics focuses on factors like drug protection, stability, release rate, and dissolution at the absorption site.

The chemical nature of a drug does not influence biopharmaceutics.

The availability of a drug at its site of action is not affected by biopharmaceutics.

Dosage forms do not play a role in determining the rate of drug release according to biopharmaceutics.

Biopharmaceutics does not involve analyzing the inert excipients used in drug formulations.

Absorption is the process by which a drug exits the body.

Metabolism involves reversible transformation of parent drug compounds.

Excretion involves the elimination of drug metabolites from the body.

Bioavailable dose represents the fraction of administered dose that reaches the systemic circulation intact.

Minimum effective concentration (MEC) is the minimum concentration of drug needed at the receptor site to produce a toxic effect.

Tmax represents the time at which the maximum drug concentration is observed in plasma.

Bio pharmaceutics is the study of the factors influencing the availability of a drug in man and animals.

Biopharmaceutical studies aim to develop dosage forms that provide inconsistent bioavailability.

ADME stands for absorption, distribution, metabolism, and elimination in pharmacokinetics and pharmacology.

In biopharmaceutics, LADME stands for liberation, absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion.

The goal of biopharmaceutical studies is to develop dosage forms that provide inconsistent bioavailability.

Physicochemical properties of drugs influencing bioavailability include temperature and color.
