Factors Influencing Drug Bioavailability
Definition and Measurement
Bioavailability refers to the rate and extent to which a drug is absorbed from its dosage form and becomes available at the site of action. It is typically measured by analyzing the drug’s concentration-time curve in the blood or by assessing its excretion in urine.
Factors Affecting Bioavailability
- Physicochemical Properties: The drug’s solubility, lipophilicity, and molecular size influence its ability to cross biological membranes.
