Description

Students also determine maximum amount of drug in the bloodstream and the time of such a peak level. Finally, students determine the rate at which the drug is absorbed into the bloodstream from the gastroinstestinal compartment in order to meet certain medical requirements, namely, set time for maximum amount of the drug in the bloodstream.
