Excretion
Liberation - ANS ✔✔Dosage form -> dissolved into body fluids
Usually takes about 30mins
Percutaneous route of administration - ANS ✔✔Absorbed through the skin and mucous
membranes
-Inhalation
, -Sublingual
-Topical
-Eye, ear, nose drops
Pharamacokinetics - ANS ✔✔The study of how a drug is absorbed into the body, circulates
within the body, is changed by the body, and leaves the body
Gastrointestinal absorption is influenced by - ANS ✔✔Gastric pH
Gastric emptying time
Enzymatic activity
Blood flow of mucous lining and intestines
Topical administration in infants is effective because - ANS ✔✔Outer layer of skin (stratum
corneum) is not fully developed
Skin more fully hydrated; plastic diaper increases skin hydration
Inflammation (diaper rash) increases absorption
What two factors does medication distribution depend on? - ANS ✔✔Protein binding and lipid
solubility

Which receive more slowly? - ANS ✔✔Rapidly:
Brain, liver, kidneys, heart
