The absorption and bioavailability of drugs are critical factors influencing their therapeutic efficacy. This book examines the processes governing drug absorption, including gastrointestinal physiology, formulation strategies, and the impact of physiological and pathological conditions. It explores various methodologies for assessing bioavailability, such as in vitro and in vivo studies, and discusses factors affecting drug delivery and absorption rates. Targeted at pharmacologists, formulation scientists, and clinical researchers, the book provides insights into optimizing drug delivery systems for enhanced bioavailability.
