Written by authors who have both academic and clinical experience, Applied Biopharmaceutics & Pharmacokinetics will help you to:
- Understand the basic concepts in biopharmaceutics and pharmacokinetics.
- Use raw data and derive the pharmacokinetic models and parameters that best describe the process of drug absorption, distribution, and elimination
- Critically evaluate biopharmaceutic studies involving drug product equivalency and unequivalency
- Design and evaluate dosage regimens of drugs, using pharmacokinetic and biopharmaceutic parameters
- Detect potential clinical pharmacokinetic problems and apply basic pharmacokinetic principles to solve them
Practical problems and clinical examples with discussions are included in each chapter to help you apply these principles to patient care and drug consultation situations. Chapter Objectives, Chapter Summaries, and Frequently Asked Questions along with additional application questions appear within each chapter to identify and focus on key concepts. Most of the chapters have been revised to reflect our current understanding of drug product performance, bioavailability, bioequivalence, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and drug therapy.
