8. AGE; in childrens and infants gastric ph is high and intensional surface and
flow is low.
When in adults altered in gastric emptying,decrease intestinal surface
area;decrease gastric blood flow.in drug absorbtion
9. Gastric emptying.
.gastric emptying is the passage of drug from stomach to smaall intestine.
.gastric emptying is dealyed when co-adminstred with food.
.factors that influence g.e are valume of meal,composition of meal,temperature of
meal,body posture,exercise ,diseases state etc
10. Intestinal transist time.
Since intestine is the major site of absorbtion of most of drugs long intestinal
transit time is desirable for the complete absorbtion of drugs.
.dealyed intestinal transit is desirable for
-drugs that dissolve only in intestine (entric coated)
-drugs absorbed from specefic sites in the intestine.
11. Gastro intestinal pH;
A difference in ph is observed between gastric and colon fluids.the gi ph increases
gradually from the stomach to the colon and rectum.
The ph of gi fluids influence the drug absorbtion in sevral ways.
-dissolution
-stabity
12. DISEASE STATE
.gi disease;infection such as achlorhydria,malaabsorbtion and sugeries such as
gastrectonomy effect the absorbtion of drugs to grater extent.
.disorders such as hepatic cirrhosis influence the bioavalibility mainly of drugs that
undergoes considerable first pass hepatic metabolism e.g propranolol
13. PRESYSTAMIC METABOLISM;
The main reason for disease in bioavalibility of the drug are decresed absorbtion
or first pass metabolism
.various enzyme that effect presystamic metabolism of drugs’
-Gutwall enzyme’
-hepatic enzyme
-bacterial enzyme
15. Particle size
.the absorbtion of the drug can be increased by increasing the particle surface
area by micronization...
Smaller
the drug
particle
Greater the
surface area
17. AMORPHISIM.
.they have greater aques solubility than the crytaline forms
because the energy required to transfer a molecule from
crystaline lattice is greater than required for the non crystalline
soild.
E.g novabacin
.the order of dissolution hence absorbtion for different soild
dosage forms is
amorphous>meta-stable>stable..
19. SALTS FORMATION OF A DRUG.
.salt of weak acid and weak bases have much higher aqueos
solubility than free acid or base.
.therefore if a drug can be given as a salt ,the solubity can be
increased the dissolution can be improved.
21. Manufacturing variables;
1.method of granulation; the method of dry granulation can
be used to produce tablets that dissolve at faster rate .
2.compression force;influence the hardness
density,porosity,disintegration dissolution of tablet.
22. Nature and type of dosage forms;
.bioavalibility of a drug from various dosage forms in the
following order
.solution >emulsion >suspension >capsules>tablets>coated
tablets>entric coated tablets>sustained release tablets
