10 Questions2 MinutesCreated by EvaluatingEagle347

Gastric emptying time is directly proportional to drug absorption

Drugs can't be given to unconscious & uncooperative patients

True

False

Drugs can't be given during emesis

True

False

First pass effect leads to increased bioavailability

True

False

Chemical nature is responsible for the selection of the route of administration of drugs.

True

False

Diarrhea decreases absorption because of increased gastric emptying time.

True

False

Diarrhea increases absorption because of increased gastric emptying time.

True

False

Diarrhea decreases absorption because of decreased gastric emptying time.

True

False

Lipid-water solubility coefficient is the ratio of dissolution of drugs in lipid as compared to water. The greater the lipid-water solubility coefficient, the more the lipid solubility of the drug and the greater the absorption.

True

False

Dosage forms affect the rate and extent of absorption.

True

False
