Bioavailability Enhancement: Determination and Conceptual Approaches in Overcoming Bioavailability Problems

317
Bioavailability is a critical pharmacological concept that measures the extent and rate at which an active drug ingredient or therapeutic moiety enters the systemic circulation, remaining unchanged. It's a pivotal factor in determining a drug's efficacy and safety.The Biopharmaceutics Classification System (BCS) plays an essential role in drug development by categorizing drugs into four classes based on their solubility and permeability. This classification aids in understanding drug absorption...

Pharmacokinetics in Pediatric Patients: Drug Metabolism

315
In pediatric care, understanding the nuances of hepatic drug metabolism is crucial, as it significantly differs from that of adults. This divergence is primarily due to the developmental stage of drug-metabolizing enzymes, which affects how medications are processed in the body. In neonates, for instance, the activity of Phase I enzymes—critical for the initial breakdown of drugs—is markedly reduced, functioning at just 20–40% of the levels seen in adults. This reduction poses...

Pharmacokinetics in Pediatric Patients: Drug Excretion

368
In pediatric medicine, understanding the renal function and drug elimination nuances is crucial for administering safe and effective treatments. Newborns, in particular, display markedly slower renal functions than adults, profoundly affecting how drugs are cleared from their bodies. This slower drug clearance requires clinicians to extend the dosing intervals for many medications to prevent drug accumulation and toxicity while ensuring therapeutic efficacy.One key area where these adjustments...

Preclinical Development: Overview01:28

Preclinical Development: Overview

6.4K
Preclinical development consists of a series of tests that ensure the safety and efficacy of a new therapeutic compound before it is tested in humans. There are four main phases to this process. First, safety pharmacology tests are conducted to ensure the drug does not produce any acutely harmful effects. These tests examine parameters such as bronchoconstriction, cardiac dysrhythmias, blood pressure changes, and ataxia. Next, preliminary toxicological testing is performed to determine the...

Pharmacokinetics in Pediatric Patients: Drug Distribution

441
Drug distribution in the pediatric population exhibits unique challenges and considerations due to the physiological differences between children, particularly neonates and infants, and adults. A crucial aspect of pediatric pharmacology is understanding how these differences impact the pharmacokinetics of various drugs, necessitating age-specific dosing strategies to ensure efficacy and safety.Neonates and infants have a higher total body water content, ~75%–90% of their body weight,...

Drug Administration and Therapy Phases: Overview

Drugs, the chemical agents used in diagnosing, treating, or preventing diseases, undergo a four-phase process of development: pharmaceutic, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and therapeutic.
The pharmaceutical phase focuses on leveraging the physicochemical properties of the drug to design and manufacture an effective product. Variants include orally administered tablets or capsules, topical creams or ointments, and parenteral-delivery solutions or emulsions.
The pharmacokinetic phase...

Area of Science:

  • Pharmacy Education
  • Entrepreneurship Studies

Background:

  • Undergraduate pharmacy curricula often lack comprehensive entrepreneurship training.
  • Developing business acumen is crucial for modern pharmacy practice, including innovation and practice management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To design, implement, and assess a workshop focused on entrepreneurship for final-year pharmacy students.
  • To evaluate the effectiveness of the workshop in enhancing both understanding of entrepreneurship concepts and development of key skills.

Main Methods:

  • A 3-hour contact and 2-hour self-study workshop was developed for final-year pharmacy students.
  • Student skills in peer assessment, communication, critical evaluation, creative thinking, problem-solving, and numeracy were evaluated.
  • A 9-item questionnaire with a 100% response rate was used for student self-assessment.

Main Results:

  • 134 students completed the workshop, with a mean score of 50.9 out of 65.
  • Students overwhelmingly agreed that the entrepreneurship workshop was a valuable teaching method.
  • Significant fostering of key skills and topic understanding was reported by participants.

Conclusions:

  • Entrepreneurship workshops are an effective method for delivering specialized content in pharmacy education.
  • The study highlights the positive impact of such workshops on skill development and suggests a strong student interest in entrepreneurship education.
