Elimination
What is absorption influenced by?
Physiochemical properties Lipid/water coefficient (lipid better) Blood flow to side of administration Dosage form (liquid) Temp(high)
What are the physiochemical properties?
non-ionized absorb better
acids better in low pH base at high.
Distribution of drug depends of what?
where blood flows and presence of plasma proteins (albumin)
hypothetical concept to describe where drug exists in body?
Volume of distribution
dose/ plasma concentration
a small Vd is?
large?
drug confined to plasma
drug passes easily and distributed.
modifies drug to facilitate excretion
Metabolism
Phase 1 of metabolism?
reactions make drug more water soluble
done by p450 enzymes
