An Introduction to Biopharmaceutics and Pharmacokinetics
A Family Circle cartoon show a young child given an im injection who might ask "How will
that 'ouch' get from there to my sore throat"? The answer
to this question is the basis of biopharmaceutics and pharmacokinetics. That is, how drugs
move around the body and how quickly this movement occurs. During
this course many of the processes which control the absorption,
distribution, metabolism, and excretion of drugs will be discussed, qualitatively (biopharmaceutics) and quantitatively (pharmacokinetics).
