About this video
Pharmacokinetics explained: learn ADME fundamentals—absorption, bioavailability, first-pass metabolism, and distribution—to understand how drugs enter, move through, and reach target tissues. This video dives into absorption routes (oral, IV, sublingual, IM, subcutaneous, transdermal), bioavailability concepts, and why first-pass liver metabolism and formulation, food, and gastric emptying change drug effectiveness. You’ll learn practical clinical implications—why IV gives 100% bioavailability and rapid onset, when sublingual dosing (eg, GTN for angina) avoids first-pass loss, and when oral drugs need higher doses due to reduced…
