Study Notes
- Drug absorption occurs through passive diffusion or specialized transport mechanisms.
- Particle size affects dissolution rate and solubility.
- Crystal or amorphous drug form and salt forms affect solubility and dissolution.
- Bioavailability and bioequivalence describe the rate and extent of drug absorption.
- Generic drugs must be bioequivalent to their brand-name counterparts.
- Different routes of drug administration include oral, rectal, parenteral, epicutaneous, ocular, otic, nasal, and others.
- Drug metabolism or biotransformation involves chemical changes to drugs within the body.
- Excretion of drugs occurs through various bodily fluids.
- Pharmacokinetic principles include half-life, clearance, and dosage regimen considerations.
- Dosage regimen considerations can be approached empirically or kinetically.
