Q

Process of Oral Absorption

A
  1. Drug molecule at surface dissolves to form saturated solution
  2. Dissolve drug pass throughout the dissolve fluid and diffuse from high to low concentration
  3. Drug molecules diffuse through bulk solution to mucosa
  4. Absorbed

Q

Noyes Whitney Equation

A

dM/dt = DS/h (Cd-Ca)

  • dissolution rate is proportional to D
  • increase rate of diffusion –> increase dissolution
  • dissolution rate is proportional to particle surface area
  • dissolution rate is proportional to difference in concentration gradient
  • high to low
  • dissolution rate is inverse proportional to h
  • increased h = less steep concentration gradient
  • decrease h by increasing stirring rate

Q

Rate Limiting Factors of Dissolution

A

Physiochemical properties of drug

Physiochemical properties of formulation

19
Q

Definition of Generic Drug

A

drug product that is comparable to brand in dosage form, strength, route of administration, quality and performance, and intended use

20
Q

Therapeutic Equivalence

A

Pharmaceutical Equivalence
Bioequivalence

21
Q

Pharmaceutical Equvalence

A

The same:
- API
- dosage form
- route of administration
- identical strength/concentration

Differ:
- shape, excipients, color

22
Q

Bioequivalence

A

pharmaceutical equivalents whose rate and extent of absorption are not statistically different when administered to humans at same dose

a drug product is considered bioequivalent if 90% confidence interval of ratios of the test mean values for AUC and Cmax are within 80%-125%

23
Q

Generic vs Brand Therapeutic Equivalence

A
  • can contain the same AUC but not the same therapeutic effect
24
Q

Study on Switch to Generic

A

2885 patients examined

  • 70.5% no problems
  • 10.8% including reappearance of problem
  • 9.8% unspecified issue
  • 8.8% other issues

30% of respondents reported an issue

25
Q

IVIVC

A
  • no correlation between bioavailability of generic vs brand
  • no correlation between dissolution rate and AUC

ISSUE IN INTERCHANGEABILITY OF PRODUCTS

26
Q

Mimicking Clinical Conditions

A

Dosage form design requires consideration of patient related variables

Patient related variables are not accurately assessed during development

Absorption windows are defined more based on physical-chemical properties and not physiology

Better in vitro and in vivo testing models are required for optimizing dosage form design

27
Q

Control of Drug Performance

A

Interplay of excipients (formulation)

Physiochemical properties of drug

Physiological barriers between GI tract and site of action

28
Q

Oral Delivery Summary

A

Oral formulations can control absorption rate to yield a safe and efficacious response

Dosage form design is dynamic and unpredictable so patient habits have to be considered

Patients vary in response

Generic formulations are not the innovator

29
Q

Pharmacotherapy and Pregnancy

A
  • 60 million women at reproductive age
  • 10% are pregnant annually
  • many are on meds for pre-existing conditions
  • physiological changes alter ADME
  • toxicity is concern

A
  • genetics, diet, and environment can impact fetus

Linked to:
- cardivascular disease
- neurological disorder
- obesity and diaabetes

Q

Why is it hard for pediatrics?

A
  • children are not miniature adults
