when the does is higher Vd will
not change
in linear kinetics as time passes after drug administration Cl, Kel, or Vd will
not change
In non-linear kinetics where does it saturate
ADME
pros of oral administration
convenient
cheap
cons of oral administration
oral adsorption may be incomplete
first pass drug loss maybe incomplete
difficulty in achieving precise control of the plasma concentration-time profile
what is bioavailability
it is the fraction of the does that reaches the systemic circulation (the heart)
how to you determine the abs. bioavailability
it can be calculated by the dosage relative to the administration route
