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