    Objectives
    Upon completion of this chapter, you will have the ability to:
    • calculate plasma drug concentration at any given time after the administration of an extravascular
    dose of a drug, based on known or estimated pharmacokinetic parameters
    • interpret the plasma drug concentration versus time curve of a drug administered extravascularly
    as the sum of an absorption curve and an elimination curve
    • employ extrapolation techniques to characterize the absorption phase
    • calculate the absorption rate constant and explain factors that influence this constant
    • explain possible reasons for the presence of lag time in a drug’s absorption
    • calculate peak plasma drug concentration, (Cp )max , and the time, tmax , at which this occurs
    • explain the factors that influence peak plasma concentration and peak time
    • decide when flip-flop kinetics may be a factor in the plasma drug concentration versus time curve
    of a drug administered extravascularly.
