After completing this course, students should be able to: a1. Describe the possible routes for drug administration: oral and non-oral routes and the anatomy and physiology of the gastrointestinal tract (GIT), mucosal membranes and skin. a2. Distinguish between the different mechanisms for drug absorption through the different routes of administration. a3. List the physiological, physicochemical, formulation factors affecting drug absorption from different routes of administration. a4. Recall the drug polymorphism and the role of formulation as a factor that affects drug bioavailability. a5. List the fields for application of nasal drug delivery; vaccines and nose-to-brain delivery. a6. Identify the most recent formulation approaches for improving drug bioavailability from the different routes of administration; available products and approaches under research. a7. Explore the advantages and disadvantages for the new drug delivery systems in the different routes for drug administration. a8. Identify the in vivo and in vitro methods for estimating or measuring the percutaneous absorption and the different parenteral routes of drug administration and their uses.

The course deals with biopharmaceutical considerations in dosage form design and to understand the factors (physiological, physicochemical, formulation factors) affecting drug absorption from the different routes (oral-non oral).
