Course Discription |
:
This course introduces students to the concepts of biopharmaceutics. The students study the processes of absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion of drugs to improve the evaluation of drug delivery systems and the therapeutic management of patients. An increased mechanistic understanding of the physiological, physiochemical, and formulation factors that influence drugs absorption from the intestine and metabolism, distribution, and elimination will be discussed. Additionally, the relevance to the generic substitution of drugs and the regulatory aspects on the absorption, bioavailability, and bioequivalence are described |
