Definition of Bioavailability
How to Measure Oral Bioavailability
F=(AUCoral/AUCiv)*(Div/Doral)
AUCoral=(F*Doral)/CL
Absolute vs Relative Bioavailability
Measuring BA using Urinary Excretion Data
Absorption Extent vs. Absorption Rate
Effect of Doubling Dose on Cmax and AUC
Double dose, double AUC and Cmax
Effect of decreasing F on Cmax and AUC
Decrease F, decrease Cmax and AUC proportionally
Effect of decreasing Ka of Tmax and Cmax
increases Tmax and decreases Cmax
