About Biopharmaceutics and Clinical Pharmacokinetics
Part I of the course deals with Biopharmaceutics and covers mechanisms of drug absorption, effect of pH on drug absorption and the pH partition principle, role of dosage forms in the absorption of drugs, bioavailability and bioequivalence, factors affecting bioavailability, and evaluation of the bioavailability of a drug. Part II of the course is on Pharmacokinetics and it covers kinetic analysis of data, basic models for drug absorption and disposition , absorption, distribution and elimination, disposition and absorption kinetics, (intravenous dose, constant rate intravenous infusion extra vascular dose), and dosage regimens.
