    Study Notes

    Drug Absorption and Bioavailability

    • The most important factor in drug absorption is the lipid solubility of the drug.

    Factors Affecting Lipid Solubility

    • Drugs that are likely to be lipid soluble and non-ionized in an acidic medium are weak bases.

    Pharmacology Branches

    • Pharmacokinetics is the branch of pharmacology that deals with the effect of the body on drugs.

    Bioavailability

    • A decrease in first-pass metabolism increases bioavailability.
    • The bioavailability of a drug given via the intravenous (IV) route is 100%.
