Advanced Pharmacokinetics and Biopharmaceutics Credits: 3

Catalog description

This course involves the study of the rates at which drug absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion occur in the body following medication administration. The student will be expected to kinetically model a given physiological process associated with the disposition of a drug in any tissue, write a series of equations, and then solve those equations to produce a final set of equations that can be used to predict the concentrations of drug in the biological matrix of interest. Knowledge of derivation of equations is expected, along with real-world application of resulting equations.
