This book describes the mathematics used in the mammillary model as well as the application of pharmacokinetics to pharmaceutical product development, and is useful as both a self-study and classroom resource. Content coverage includes detailed discussions of common models and important pharmacokinetic concepts such as biological half-life, clearance, excretion, multiple dosage regimens and more. Numerous equations, practical examples and figures are incorporated to clearly illustrate the theoretical background of pharmacokinetic behavior of drugs and excipients. Shows how to apply basic pharmacokinetic methods to evaluate drugs, excipients and drug products Uses guided practice questions, mathematical concepts and real-world examples for self-assessment and retention purposes Illustrates how to write and evaluate drug registration files
