The science and technology associated with pharmacy has progressed enormously over the past few decades. Significant advances in the
understanding of diseases have necessitated the need to optimize drug therapy. The concern today is not just to produce elegant and accurate dosa
forms but also to ensure that optimum amount of drug reaches the target site at an optimal rate and its concentration is maintained for the entire
duration of therapy. A thorough background of the fate of drug after its administration; the rate processes to which it is subjected in the body and it
behavior after biotransformation, are thus very essential in addition to the knowledge about its pharmacodynamics. The twin disciplines of
Biopharmaceutics and Pharmacokinetics have, therefore, been developed with the objective of learning how drugs can be utilized optimally in the
treatment of diseases–through design and development of new and better therapeutic moieties, new dosage forms and appropriate dosage regimen
