Drug Bioavailability

The peroral application (swallowing) of a medicine means that the body must first resorb the active substance before it can begin to take effect. Since many pharmacologically active substances are poorly suited for oral intake, a decisive criterion for the efficacy of a medicine is its so-called bioavailability.
Written by an international team from academia and the pharmaceutical industry, this book covers all aspects of the oral bioavailability of medicines. Its clear structure and comprehensive coverage make it equally suitable for researchers and lecturers in industry and teaching.
