Rates of absorption for various drug routes - CORRECT ANSWER Enteral drug administration -
drug is absorbed into the systemic circulation through the mucosa of the stomach and or large
intestine
Early administer drugs - absorbed from the intestinal lumen into the blood system and
transported to the liver, once in the liver hepatic enzyme systems metabolize it, and the
remaining active ingredients are passed into the general circulation
(various factors affect the rate of drug absorption. How a drug is administered, or it's rude of
administration, affects the rate and extent of absorption of that drug. Although a number of
dosage formulations are available for delivering medications, they can all be categorized into
three basic roots of the ministration; G.I. tract, parenteral, and topical)
Bioavailability - CORRECT ANSWER The term used to express the extent of drug absorption
(Ex. A drug that is absurd from the intestine must first pass through the liver before it reaches the
systemic circulation)
Bioequivalence - CORRECT ANSWER Bioequivalence is a term in pharmacokinetics used to
assess the expected in vivo biological equivalence of two proprietary preparations of a drug. If
