The subject Biopharmaceutics and Pharmacokinetics is designed to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of the principles governing the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) of drugs. The course combines theoretical knowledge with practical applications, emphasizing the relationship between drug dosage forms, their pharmacokinetic properties, and therapeutic outcomes. Students will gain insights into mathematical modeling techniques for drug behavior in the body, including the analysis of drug concentration-time profiles.

Key Topics Covered:

  1. Biopharmaceutics

  2. Pharmacokinetics

  3. One-Compartment Open Model

  4. Multicompartment Models

  5. Multiple-Dosage Regimens

  6. Nonlinear Pharmacokinetics

  7. Noncompartmental Pharmacokinetics

  8. Bioavailability and Bioequivalence

This course enables students to understand the complex dynamics of drug behavior within the body, essential for pharmaceutical sciences and drug formulation processes. By the end of the course, students will be equipped to analyze and predict drug concentration profiles, optimize dosing regimens, and assess the bioavailability and bioequivalence of pharmaceutical products.
