Essentials of Biopharmaceutics and Pharmacokinetics Kar’s Essentials of Biopharmaceutics and Pharmacokinetics deals with how a drug exerts its action in the human body through the fundamentals of absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion. The book adopts a growth-oriented format and design that is developed systematically and methodically. The book interrelates five different sections: Section 1 Biopharmaceutics and Pharmacokinetics: What Do They Mean? Section 2 Biopharmaceutics Section 3 Pharmacokinetics Section 4 Clinical Pharmacokinetics Section 5 Bioavailability and Bioequivalence Each section starts with a basic theory and fields of application, focuses on model-independent pharmacokinetic analyses, expatiates various biopharmaceutical aspects of dosage form and evaluation, provides an altogether new approach in understanding both dosage regimen design and individualization, and explains modification in drug molecules related to the pharmacokinetics. Undoubtedly, the unique blend of fundamental principles and latest breakthroughs in the field will certainly provide sufficient subject matter to the students of pharmacy, pharmacology, medicinal chemistry scientists, who need a simple as well as detailed introduction in theory and application.

This book presents a novel modeling approach to biopharamceutics, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamic phenomena. It shows how advanced physical and mathematical methods can expand classical models in order to cover heterogeneous drug-biological processes and therapeutic effects in the body. Throughout, many examples are used to illustrate the intrinsic complexity of drug administration related phenomena in the human, justifying the use of advanced modeling methods.
