.
2 The solubility of the drug will not match the site of absorption.

1 Assure that the drug will reach its intended target tissue
.

.
3 Increase the length of time a drug is available & active
.
4 Are most common in collagen tissues

.
4 Safety & side effects
.
6. Azithromycin dosing requires that the first day’s dosage be twice those of the other 4 days of the prescription. This is considered a
loading dose. A loading dose:
1 Rapidly achieves drug levels in the therapeutic range
.
2 Requires four- to five-half-lives to attain
.
3 Is influenced by renal function
.
4 Is directly related to the drug circulating to the target tissues
.
7. The point in time on the drug concentration curve that indicates the first sign of a therapeutic effect is the:
1 Minimum adverse effect level
.
2 Peak of action
.
3 Onset of action
.
4 Therapeutic range
.
8. Phenytoin requires that a trough level be drawn. Peak & trough levels are done:
